It’s been over four years since Quantic Dream first announced Star Wars Eclipse, and we still haven’t seen another trailer. The game is set during the High Republic era, a more recent period in the Star Wars timeline, and remains largely unknown despite some story details allegedly leaked by the developers. However, a recent report suggests the game’s development is progressing slowly, potentially hindering the initial hype.
Development on Star Wars Eclipse is reportedly moving slowly, but that might not be Quantic Dream’s biggest concern. According to Insider Gaming, investor NetEase is questioning whether the project is financially sound. Now, funding for Star Wars Eclipse largely depends on the success of Spellcasters Chronicles, a live-service multiplayer game Quantic Dream released in early access on Steam last month, and its ability to generate revenue to support Eclipse‘s development.
Star Wars Eclipse Funding May Depend On Another Game
According to a source at Insider Gaming, if the game Spellcasters doesn’t sell well, NetEase may reconsider its partnership with Quantic Dream and stop investing further. One reason for potential concern is that Star Wars Eclipse is still a long way from being finished. Although much of the game is reportedly complete, recent development hasn’t been smooth, meaning it’s still several years away from release.
Games that experience long and troubled development often worry investors, who see them as likely to lose money. That’s why it’s interesting that there’s optimism surrounding Spellcasters Chronicles, a game self-published by Quantic Dream. While it’s a new three-versus-three action strategy game – released in early access on February 26, 2026 – it initially received mixed reviews on Steam. Recent feedback has become more positive, offering some encouragement, but the market for games that constantly update and add content is known to be unpredictable.
It’s Weird Star Wars Is Seen As A Risky Investment
It’s starting to look like Star Wars Eclipse might be another highly anticipated game announced before it was ready. While its lengthy development wasn’t initially concerning, recent reports have raised questions. What’s especially strange is that the future of this big Star Wars project might hinge on how well a different, live-service game performs. This situation is unusual, and it’s surprising to see a huge franchise like Star Wars having trouble securing funding.
There might be deeper problems within Quantic Dream, but NetEase appearing to lose faith in the project is concerning. Star Wars Eclipse initially had strong creative support, as it was set to be the first game exploring the High Republic era and introduce a new alien race. However, that future is now uncertain. The issues seem to be purely financial, meaning the game’s fate is currently unstable, no matter how promising its development once was.
