If you are a Star Wars fan, the first question I had in my mind was: is Star Wars Eclipse coming out this year? The trailer is quite stunning. I don’t talk a lot about games only for Star Wars 😉
What is Star Wars Eclipse?
Star Wars Eclipse is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Quantic Dream and set during the High Republic Era. Featuring a cast of multiple playable characters, it is planned to allow players to change the events of the story based on their decisions in-game. Announced on December 9, 2021, Eclipse currently has no release date.
Star Wars: Eclipse is one of the upcoming Star Wars games on the horizon that is coming from Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain developer, Quantic Dream. First revealed at The Game Awards 2021, Star Wars: Eclipse is set to be an action-adventure game featuring multiple characters and a branching narrative. Set in the High Republic era of the Star Wars galaxy, the project is in early development, but there are plenty of details to tuck into from the initial reveal.
Star Wars Eclipse release date
While described as in “early development” at the Game Awards, reports emerged towards the end of 2021 that suggested Star Wars Eclipse is apparently at least three to four years away from launch. Quantic Dream went on to respond to the reports to reaffirm that there have been no delays since no launch date has been confirmed.
There’s little to go on beyond that at present, but, given Quantic Dream’s past projects, we expect Star Wars Eclipse to feature on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X at a minimum, with the developer promising a game that “can be experienced in many ways, and puts the destinies of multiple playable characters in your hands”.
