Star Wars Eclipse in Trouble: Slow Development and Future Tied to the Success of Another Title

The development of Star Wars Eclipse seems to be going through a particularly complex phase, raising concrete doubts about its future. According to recent rumors, the title developed by Quantic Dream is still "years away from completion," despite the fact that almost five years have passed since its announcement in 2021.

The information comes from internal sources cited in a report, which states that the project is proceeding very slowly. Although a significant part of the game is already ready, the rest of the development is proving to be more difficult than expected, with minimal progress recorded in recent months. However, the main concern is not only about development times but also about the possibility that the game may never be completed.

The fate of Star Wars Eclipse could indeed be closely linked to the commercial success of Spellcasters Chronicles, a free-to-play title developed simultaneously by the studio. This multiplayer game, available in early access since February 2026, is expected to help fund the more ambitious project. However, the initial results do not seem promising: the number of active players is quite low, and the title struggles to maintain a stable user base, despite recent moderately positive reviews.

The Situation of Star Wars Eclipse

The situation is further complicated by the role of NetEase, the parent company of Quantic Dream. In recent years, NetEase has reduced investments in several projects and international studios, signaling a shift in strategy. If Spellcasters Chronicles does not generate sufficient revenue, the company may decide to reconsider its support for the studio.

In this scenario, Star Wars Eclipse is at serious risk of cancellation. The prospect is particularly concerning for fans who have been waiting for years for a new title set in the Star Wars universe with the narrative approach typical of Quantic Dream.

It is important to emphasize that these are still rumors and that the situation could evolve. However, the current picture suggests that the project is in a critical phase where economic and strategic factors could influence its fate more than mere technical issues. If difficulties persist and financial support dwindles, Star Wars Eclipse could become one of the many ambitious projects that never reached the market.
