Developer Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games during The Game Awards 2021 announced Star Wars Eclipse. It is an action adventure game set in the High Republic era.
Video game insider Tom Henderson previously claimed the game is three or four years away from launch as the developer is currently struggling with hiring employees.
Henderson in a new report via XFire says that Quantic Dream's continues to find it hard to hire staff as the studio has 67 job openings in Paris. He says the game will likely now release in 2027 or 2028.

Here is an overview of the game:
Star Wars Eclipse is the first video game to be set in an uncharted region of the Outer Rim during The High Republic era, known as the golden age of the Jedi. The game will build upon Quantic Dream’s expertise in delivering deeply branching narratives and will go beyond their already established acclaim. Player’s choices will be at the heart of the experience, as every decision can have a dramatic impact on the course of the story.
Crafted by a diverse team of writers, game creators, and interactive storytelling experts, all with a deep affinity for the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars Eclipse will feature new places to explore through untold stories with unique characters, each with their own path, abilities, and roles to play.
Star Wars Eclipse is currently in early development in Paris, France, and Montreal, Canada and will be published globally by Quantic Dream. The team is recruiting in both locations for top talents in the world to work on this exciting new project.

Absolutely absurd that we know about this game this far out.
So I should forego waiting outside in front of the store for now?
It's 2022 lol. The game is five to six years away? Why the heck would they even announce it then?
Hmm, who would've thought of the likelihood that we would get ESVI and GTAVI before this game lol
Wtf.. why even announce it than.
Will take a long time, but as long as it is great I don`t care.
Erm.... why bother even announcing it if the release is 5 years away?
plenty of major companies have studios in paris. the work culture in quantic dream is particularly fucked, so nobody really wants to work there. David Cage is a fucking clown and everyone knows it, so its put them off track supposedly for three years, but honestly that's assuming that the problem persists for the entire dev cycle, that they dont do anything like cut down on scope to make up for it, and also that the report was even accurate. we knew the game was happening for a while but tbh even if it was out on time (late 2024/2025) thats still too early to announce it
Games are announced early to generate interest from potential developers. It's much easier to recruit and get interested devs in a studio when you know what game(s) it's are working on.
