Leaked character concept art for Star Wars Eclipse has provided fans with a glimpse of the game, showcasing popular alien races, though it offers little insight into the actual game content. There is growing uncertainty about the development progress of Star Wars Eclipse, as Quantic Dream has been unusually quiet, with minimal updates since the game’s announcement.
Star Wars Eclipse was first revealed at the end of 2021 through a captivating cinematic trailer that highlighted various stunning locations set during the High Republic era. As an action-adventure title from the studio behind Detroit: Become Human, initial reactions were overwhelmingly positive, generating significant hype among fans.
However, nearly three and a half years later, this cinematic reveal remains the primary material available for fans, raising questions about the game’s current direction. Recently, new information has come to light regarding Star Wars Eclipse, thanks to leaked character concept art.
According to MP1st, the art, which is from the portfolio of a former artist who briefly worked on the game, includes thirteen pieces. These illustrations depict several beloved Star Wars alien races, such as Gungans, Rodians, and Zenezians.
While the artwork doesn’t reveal much about the game’s content, it offers an intriguing insight into the aesthetic vision Quantic Dream may be pursuing. Complicating matters further, it remains uncertain when these pieces were created, casting doubt on their relevance to the final product.
With the departure of the lead writer in August 2024 and the absence of updates, it’s hard to ascertain if the game is still on its original trajectory. Additionally, recent concerns emerged about Star Wars Eclipse’s future due to studio closures at Quantic Dream’s parent company, NetEase Games.
Fortunately, Quantic Dream CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière reassured fans that the studio behind Star Wars Eclipse was unaffected by these layoffs, which hopefully means that development can continue smoothly. As of now, no specific release window has been announced, leaving fans to await further news.
