With Star Wars Eclipse, everything is in order – work “boils”
First announced back in 2021, Star Wars Eclipse is still a mystery. Last year, Quantic Dream denied rumors about the delay and problems with the development of the game, noting that he could not name the release date. In one of the subsequent interviews, the CEO of Quantic Dream Guillaume de Fonduier said that Eclipse would preserve the fundamental principles of Quantic Dream, despite the fact that his own adventure game.
However, this year Star Wars: Eclipse has not yet shown what made some think about what was happening with the game. In a recent IGN interview with Tokyo Game Show 2023 in Japan Lisa Pends, Vice President of Marketing Quantic Dream, described the development as "boiling".
"Can I say that it still exists? Because it exists", – answered Pends when she was asked to report the latest news. "She is just not ready. She just boils".
Star Wars Eclipse is a new adventure game whose action takes place in an era "Star Wars", In the Golden Age of the Jedi hundreds of years before the birth of Anakin Skywalker. Despite the fact that a luxurious teaser trailer draws an exciting picture, there are few details so far.
Pends also confirmed that in Star Wars Eclipse, as in the previous games of Quantic Dream, such as Beyond: Two Souls, there will be no screen "game over".
With the announcement of Star Wars Eclipse, we paid great attention to that it was clear that this is really an adventure game in which there are all the elements that you expect and want to get a Quantic Dream: a complex branched narrative, many playable characters. There is no game of the vapor in the game. Anyone can die, anything can happen, and the story seems to continue, so these signs are still present. But we further strengthened our experience in the field of gameplay.
In 2021, Quantic Dream opened an office in Montreal (Canada) to help create Star Wars Eclipse. Currently, about 50 employees are working in it, who are focused on the gameplay. According to reports, before the start of Star Wars Eclipse for many years. However, Pends claims that Quantic Dream has the opportunity to focus on creating a game, despite the fact that now it belongs to the Chinese company Netease.
One of the remarkable advantages of working with Netease is that they do not impose dates of release to us. Quantic Dream has always been released when they were ready, and I think that the high level of quality that you get by buying the Quantic Dream game is a confirmation of the value of this approach. The same can be said about Star Wars Eclipse. So you will find out about this, but now it’s too early to report any details.
