Star Wars: Eclipse trailer, setting, news and rumors
Star Wars: Eclipse, the long-rumored Star Wars project being developed by Quantic Dream was finally confirmed at The Game Awards 2021. The team previously responsible for Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human is now taking charge of this new action-adventure, set in the aesthetically pleasing High Republic era of the overarching Star Wars saga.
While we still know precious little about Star Wars: Eclipse (the game is indeed still in early development, as confirmed by The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley), we do have an impressive CGI trailer and a few key details to work with.
Star Wars: Eclipse sounds like it'll differ from Quantic Dream's previous works. The studio is known for primarily narrative-driven experiences, and while that'll still be the case with Star Wars: Eclipse, the developer is injecting a heavier emphasis on action this time.
Unfortunately, Quantic Dream seems a little too early in the development of Star Wars: Eclipse to provide a solid release date. And if development is still in its primary stages, we reckon we're probably not going to see Star Wars: Eclipse on store shelves for a while yet.
If we had to hazard a guess, we'd have to say Star Wars: Eclipse will launch in 2023 at the earliest, though that, admittedly, could be an ambitious prediction. 2024 seems the more likely release window. It's worth noting that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake will likely release in this timeframe, too, so there's at least plenty of AAA Star Wars goodness to look forward to in a few years' time.
Platforms haven't been confirmed yet, either, but we expect Star Wars: Eclipse to land on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC at the very least.
Star Wars: Eclipse trailers
The Game Awards 2021 CGI trailer
After rumors of its existence, Quantic Dream finally broke its
silence on its Star Wars game with an impressive CGI trailer debuting at
The Game Awards 2021. While we still can't speak of the game Star Wars:
Eclipse will eventually shape up to be, it looks like we'll be meeting
and (playing as) a varied roster of characters. Recognizable Star Wars
characters like Yoda are also briefly seen in the trailer, so some
crossover with the central timeline of the films seems likely.
