Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games’Star Wars Eclipsewas recently announced and a lot of speculation and controversy has swirled around it since.Star Wars Eclipse’s official revealboasted CGI visuals in a purely cinematic trailer. But while the actual game will no doubt be comparably impressive from a graphical fidelity standpoint, fans have wondered whatStar Wars Eclipse’s gameplay would look like.
Tom Henderson, who was among the first individuals toleak Quantic Dream’sStar Warsgame, has recently shared more news about when players can expect to get their hands on it.

Multiple reports of AccNGTsharing leaks aboutStar Wars Eclipsehave circulated and depict a number of supposed gameplay details. Of course, until an official announcement is made these rumored leaks should be received lightly, though some credibility has been added due to AccNGT’s previous claims. Nonetheless, if the leak is to be believed,Star Wars Eclipsewill feature an “Open World” and “Multiplayer Elements (Competitive).”
Quantic Dream’s titles are chiefly cinematic and narrative-driven with branching dialogue choices that determine a sequence or character’s outcome. In fact,Quantic Dream’sDetroit: Become Human,Beyond: Two Souls, andHeavy Rainall follow this formula. AccNGT’s leak appears to suggest that Quantic Dream will abandon this formula for gameplay that is less rigid or on-rails. With a “non-linear” open-world that features some sort of multiplayer component,Star Wars Eclipsewould surely be Quantic Dream’s most “ambitious” and gameplay-rich title.
It is unclear what competitive multiplayer might look in a newStar Warsgame let alone aStar Warsgame developed by Quantic Dream.Star Wars Eclipseis apparently extremely early in development and, if these rumored leaks about gameplay details are true, Quantic Dream will likely take as much time to develop it as possible with new systems and features that spell an unfamiliar and emergent territory for the developer.
Unfortunately forStar Warsfans who otherwise may have been excited forStar Wars Eclipse’s announcement, there have been workplace allegations and accusations in the past that depict a culture ofbigotry and sexism at Quantic Dream, specifically from its founder, David Cage. It is uncertain whether these controversies will impact the game’s development or the studio at all since development has been underway for a while now, but proposed leaks aboutStar Wars Eclipse’s gameplay may excite fans nonetheless.
Star Wars Eclipseis currently in early development.
