Star Wars Eclipse continues to be a subject of intrigue and anticipation within the gaming community. Developed by Quantic Dream, this ambitious project has not seen significant updates for quite some time, leading many fans to question its future. However, a recent announcement from Quantic Dream has instilled a sense of hope regarding the development of this highly awaited title.
In light of various studio closures initiated by NetEase, Quantic Dream appears to have remained unaffected. Addressing these recent industry changes, CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière provided reassurances that all ongoing projects—including Star Wars Eclipse—are progressing “at full pace.”Although he did not explicitly mention it, the confirmation that Eclipse is still in development is promising, especially when compared to the silence surrounding another mysterious Star Wars project: Saber Interactive’s remake of Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR).

KOTOR Remake’s Development Issues: No End in Sight

The troubled development path of KOTOR has become a focal point of conversation among Star Wars enthusiasts. This beloved action-adventure RPG carries a nostalgic weight for many fans, raising expectations for its remake. However, with the project missing its original release window by several years, speculation about its eventual release continues to grow. While Star Wars Eclipse has had sparse updates, the KOTOR remake has been mired in even greater silence.
Guillaume de Fondaumière’s comments regarding the status of Quantic Dream serve as a modest but welcome reassurement to fans eagerly anticipating Star Wars Eclipse. Both this game and KOTOR hold the potential to redefine Star Wars gaming, yet many fear that KOTOR might not reach completion. The list of anticipated games stuck in development limbo is long, and KOTOR currently seems to top it.

Hoping for Good News in 2025
As fans of both gaming and Star Wars await a fresh installment in the franchise, anticipation is high. Last year saw the release of Star Wars Outlaws, which, despite some enjoyable elements, received mixed reviews overall. Meanwhile, titles such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor have proven to be significant highlights for the franchise, but the timeline for a potential third chapter remains uncertain.
Set in the High Republic Era, Star Wars Eclipse holds promise for a thrilling narrative. Although Quantic Dream’s recent update has alleviated some concerns among fans, there has yet to be any substantial news or release date. While it currently seems to have an advantage over KOTOR, Eclipse is still shrouded in mystery.
As 2025 approaches, the gaming landscape is poised for several exciting high-profile releases. Enthusiasts can expect substantial announcements and updates in the coming months. While it’s important that games are given the necessary time for development, fans are hopeful for clearer updates regarding the future of Star Wars gaming.
