Star Wars: Eclipse was announced too early. The game will not be released until 2026, but the wait will be worth it

 

One of the main announcements of the past The Game Awards 2021 was the new project Quantic Dream. Authors of Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit have unveiled an ambitious Star Wars-inspired game, Star Wars: Eclipse. According to authoritative insider Tom Henderson, the announcement of this game sounded too early, the release will have to wait at least another four years.

Henderson reiterates that the studio ran into problems early in production of the game. The source of the strong delay lies in the internal engine of Quantic Dream studio, which cannot cope with complex scenes and working out large sets. According to the developers themselves, the game will be released only in five years and if there are no additional difficulties. On the other hand, it will allow developers to implement "new level" graphics.

The insider is confident that Star Wars: Eclipse will reach PC and consoles no earlier than 2026-2027. By and large, the development of the game has not yet begun and the developers may even go in search of an alternative engine.
