Among the various videogame houses that are preparing to create games deriving from the Star Wars Eclipse franchise, that of Quantic Dream is a company that seems to give more than a headache to the studio, according to the rumors of a leaker.
Before Star Wars Eclipse was officially announced during the annual The Game Awards event that took place this December, some advance had already been given regarding the development study and the connotations that would characterize the game. Among the most relevant surprises, there was from the beginning the discovery by a YouTuber of how this new Star Wars game would be developed by Quantic Dream, and would present itself in different ways. very different from those with which the studio has accustomed its fanbase.
And even then there were rumors of a development in full swing, with at least 18 months behind it. However, a few days ago it became known from Tom Henderson of some creaks inside the videogame house regarding progress in making the game. Now, Henderson always returns to reveal other important criticalities in Quantic Dream, which seem to be hindering Star Wars Eclipse in a rather serious way.
The problems behind Star Wars Eclipse depend on the nature of Quantic Dream
Taking advantage of the meager amount of news over the holidays, Tom Henderson wanted to shake things up a bit by making a video in which introduces users to the current state of the development studio, and the reasons that lead him to assume a situation not the most optimistic for Star Wars Eclipse. As we have already been able to discover in the information received on other occasions, the game in question it will move towards still unexplored horizons for Quantic Dream: it will take the form of an MMORPG and open world, with gameplay based mainly on action. Already in early December Henderson had stressed the need for at least another 3-4 years before the game is released, adding also a difficulty on the part of the French firm in hiring new staff.
In the statements made in this new video, Henderson returns to affirm as the major issues are due to the engine that Quantic Dream intends to use to develop Star Wars Eclipse, as it can only handle a small number of characters and not very large levels. Obviously, for these reasons, the creation of multiplayer is also representing a significant problem. Plus, he also mentions how a playable version of the title has not yet been developed, a fact that adds to all the troubles still to be solved. However, we can assume a possible positive implication in the coming years, since the game will not arrive in any case before 2025, but everything remains to be seen in any case.
