Star Wars Eclipse is an upcoming role-playing video game set in the Star Wars universe, developed by Quantic Dream and licensed by Lucasfilm Games.
The story of Eclipse takes place in the High Republic era, years before the events of The Phantom Menace.
Star Wars Eclipse was announced at The Game Awards 2021; it is an action-adventure game in the early stages of development by Quantic Dream and licensed under the Lucasfilm Games brand. The game will feature multiple playable characters with branching narratives. It is set in the Star Wars universe and is part of the High Republic multimedia project, which places the events of the game 200 years before The Phantom Menace.[1][2][3] The game is expected to be released in 2027 at the earliest; industry analysts attributed this long development timeline to an inability to attract staff because of the studio's poor reputation as a place of work. Players used the hashtag "#BlackoutStarWarsEclipse" on Twitter to call on Disney to revoke the Star Wars license from Quantic Dream on account of the studio's history of sexism and homophobia.[4]
