Star Wars: Eclipse from Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games revealed

Quantic Dream, which is the studio responsible for Star Wars games, will be releasing an updated Star Wars game. Heavy RainAnd Detroit: Become Human. For the first time, a mysterious trailer Star Wars Eclipse was revealed during The Game Awards 2021, promising an “an intricately branching action-adventure game” set during Star Wars’ relatively new High Republic era.

It is very moody and sparse in details. The trailer opens with an unknown character banging on a large drum. It is almost as if he or she are performing some ritual. Then we start to see darkening spread throughout the galaxy. Yoda looks outside the window of the Jedi Temple — likely the one on Coruscant — while citizens across several planets look worried. Meanwhile, an army of unknown origin seems to be growing. We return to the drumming, only to see an unidentified figure emerge from a pit. This is confirming that there has been some sort of evil ceremony.

The game is set during Star Wars’ High Republic era, which has only recently started being explored in the series’ latest books. The High Republic era occurs roughly 200 years before the star of the Skywalker Saga at a time of Jedi strength, though that doesn’t mean evil is at rest in the galaxy.

Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t include a release date or platforms.

The story is still in development and we’ll add more details as they become available.
