Report Says 'Star Wars Eclipse' Still Years Away as Development Slows

NetEase’s support may hinge on sales of Quantic Dream’s 2026 PC release, Spellcasters Chronicles.

Overview

  • Insider Gaming Weekly co-host Mike Straw said sources describe very slow progress on Star Wars Eclipse with little movement for months and a release still years off.
  • Those same accounts say much of the game’s work is already done, yet the studio is moving slowly to finalize it.
  • Quantic Dream was bought by NetEase in 2022, and the report claims NetEase could reconsider funding if near-term revenue falls short.
  • Spellcasters Chronicles, which Quantic Dream plans to publish on PC this year, is framed as a key test that could influence Eclipse’s budget.
  • Eclipse has no official release window or confirmed platforms, though reports expect PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and the game is set in the High Republic era with multiple playable characters.
