With EA opening the world of Star Wars videogames to Lucasfilm and other developers after the tumultuous Battlefront II reboot, fans were overwhelmed with the beauty of Star Wars Eclipse. This groundbreaking video game was reportedly set to release sometime in 2023-2025.

But, early reports of LGBTQ+ misrepresentation, sexual scandals, and employment issues coming from within Quantin Dream is causing a whirlwind of issues with Star Wars Eclipse and its multi-year development.

Nonetheless, a new rumor suggests that developer Quantic Dream is facing numerous struggles, including sexual assault scandals, according to insider Xfire’s Tom Henderson, that’s delayed Lucasfilm’s most ambitious project to 2028:

However, sources close to Quantic Dream have told me that even though the trailer was released to an extremely favourable reception from the wider gaming community – and it certainly does look stunning – it has not had the desired effect of attracting developer talent to the studio.

As a result, Star Wars Eclipse is likely going to be released around 2027-2028.

What’s more, hard evidence of Quantic Dream’s difficulties in hiring new employees and the resulting 2027-2028 release window can also be found online.

Nonetheless, what turned out to be a 3-4 development by Quantic Dream for Star Wars Eclipse has now turned into a reported six years.

At this time, Lucasfilm and Quantic Dream developers have not officially commented on when Star Wars Eclipse will officially release or why the video game has seemingly been delayed.

The world of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Darth Vader (James Earl Jones), Jedi Master Yoda (Frank Oz), Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), Darth Maul (Ray Parker), Anakin Skywalker (Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch/Temura Morrison), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), Grogu (AKA “Baby Yoda”), the Millennium Falcon, and the Clone Wars within the Star Wars franchise are moving far past Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) or the controversial Rian Johnson Star Wars film The Last Jedi (2018) as we dive into the Old Republic or explore new realities with each new TV show or the upcoming Star Wars game like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2.

While there’s little information surrounding The Mandalorian season three, many hope to see the return of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) interacting with his Padawan Grogu, Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), and Marshal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant).

Hopefully, there will be some mention/replacement of Cara Dune (Gina Carano), as well as a look into the future of Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff), Koska Reeves (Sasha Banks), Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), and Moff Gideon’s (Giancarlo Esposito) — who audiences last saw on his Imperial starcruiser.
