The situation around Star Wars Eclipse appears to be getting even worse.
According to recent reports, Quantic Dream employees have gone on strike as the studio faces a layoff plan that could affect 115 workers. The cuts are reportedly tied to the failure of Spellcasters Chronicles, the studio’s live-service project that struggled to find an audience.
As covered before, the game’s promise has always been huge, but so have the warning signs around its troubled development. The game has already been surrounded by silence, delays, and questions since its reveal in 2021. Now, developers reportedly believe the project is severely understaffed, with some arguing that the employees at risk of being laid off are essential if the game is ever going to be completed.
A Lucasfilm delegation was reportedly expected to review the progress of Star Wars Eclipse, while workers used the moment to send a clear message: under the current conditions, the game may not survive.
This is no longer just about a slow development cycle. It is about whether Quantic Dream has the resources, structure, and internal stability to finish one of its most ambitious projects.
For us, the fans, Star Wars Eclipse still sounds like a dream project on paper, but every new report makes it feel further away.
Nothing has been officially cancelled, and the project may still recover. But right now, Star Wars Eclipse looks less like a distant future release and more like a game fighting to stay alive.
