It doesn’t look like we’re going to be seeing Star Wars: Eclipse any time soon if this rumour is anything to go on. Apparently, the team has made “very little progress over months.”

The info comes via Insider Gaming’s latest podcast where the team was answering questions from viewers and readers. The topic of Quantic Dream’s Star Wars title was brought up.

According to Mike Straw, “they have a good chunk done, but for what they still need to do, it has not been going all that well.” He then pointed out that progress has been very slow lately.

“I won’t say it’s in development hell, but it’s very slow.” said Straw.

More worryingly, Straw seems to indicate that there’s a chance of the company being shut down or sold off. According to Straw, NetEase does not want to shut down Quantic Dream “but it would not surprise me based on the the conversations I’ve had if we see Quantic Dream – maybe you hear this year or next year – like, NetEase is selling it off or something because they’ve got to figure out what they’re doing and yeah, Eclipse just hasn’t been in the best of places.”

Mike Straw added more to context to his comments in a brief article on Insider Gaming. According to him, a source said back in December that the game was still likely years away, and that expanding the development team to speed things up wasn’t possible because NetEase didn’t want to invest even more into the project.

“Both NetEase and Quantic Dream, the source says, are really relying on Spellcasters Chronicles, which entered Early Access in February, to bring in revenue that can then be spent on Eclipse’s development,” write’s Straw.

Star Wars: Eclipse was announced way back in 2021, and since then we’ve barely heard anything from the game. It’s set hundreds of years before the events of the first movies, and is supposed to be an action-adventure game.

Quantic Dream popped up last year to promise us the game is still being made.
