A new report has shed light on the goings on at French studio Quantic Dream and revealed concern about the future of Star Wars Eclipse.
A recent report has brought to light the situation at Quantic Dream, raising worries about the fate of Star Wars Eclipse. Following the abrupt cancellation of Spellcasters Chronicles just three months after its early access debut, Quantic Dream, known for narrative-driven games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, hinted at impending layoffs without specifying numbers.
Despite assuring that Star Wars Eclipse's development remains unaffected by the Spellcasters Chronicles' cancellation, reports suggest a lack of resources and progress on the Star Wars project. The striking staff, aiming to safeguard Eclipse, fear the loss of crucial Spellcasters Chronicles developers could jeopardize the game's completion.
Quantic Dream's CEO, Guillaume de Fondaumière, addressed recent layoffs in a LinkedIn post, emphasizing the studios' commitment to ongoing projects and the support received from NetEase, the studio's parent company since 2022.
The future of Star Wars Eclipse hangs in the balance as Quantic Dream navigates through internal challenges and strives to secure the necessary resources to bring the game to fruition.
