Star Wars Eclipse could spend it development another 3-4 years, with parts of it being potentially outsourced.One of the source claims that Quantic Dream might again be looking for a buyer in order to get the resources to create a new engine.However, Quantic Dream does not have a playable build at the moment, mainly due to the problems with the engine. To date, Star Wars Eclipse has been in development for about 18 months.Finding talent is allegedly difficult due to the reports of the unhealthy atmosphere in the studio. Right now, Quantic Dream has posted around 60 job listings, which is more than 30% of the current headcount of its Paris studio. Development is further complicated by staffing problems.Adding multiplayer, which is supposedly the plan, is also problematic for the same reason. The development of Star Wars Eclipse is currently facing trouble with Quantic Dream’s engine which is still unable to support open spaces and a large number of unscripted NPCs with complex AI.The game is set during the High Republic and is in early development. To that effect, Quantic Dream pitched the idea Lucasfilm, which liked it. At The Game Awards 2021, Lucasfilm Games announced the next project, called Star Wars: Eclipse. The studio, however, still wanted to make another large-scale project and decided to revisit Project Karma. Most of them were canned, with the exception of mobile game Spellcaster and Dreamland, a game set in the medieval fantasy world. At the same time, the studio explored ideas for smaller projects.However, the toxic work environment allegations picked by media made it impossible to find a buyer. Some sources claim that the deal might have allowed the studio to improve its proprietary tech beyond only making cinematic games. At around this time, the management of Quantic Dream allegedly considered selling the company.The studio did not return to Project Karma until around 2020, when it broke free of PlayStation exclusivity.The studio then pursued another another project, which later evolved into Detroit Become Human. The pitch might have also been turned down by Sony because Quantic Dream’s proprietary engine could not work for a game featuring large unconfined levels. Sony, however, did not greenlight the concept deeming it too large-scale for the studio. Project Karma should have been a big and ambitious game with plans to add several multiplanetary systems for players to explore.The studio pitched it to Sony after the release of Beyond Two Souls. The game was conceived back in 2013 and was originally called Project Karma.No playable build of Star Wars Eclipse exists at the moment. According to Henderson’s sources, the concept for the project was created back in 2013 years ago and has only recently been transformed into a Star Wars title.
