Insider Gaming sources have revealed that Star Wars Eclipse, developed by Quantic Dream is targeting a tentative 2026 release date, but it could be delayed further.

The news comes from the same sources that revealed Chinese tech giant Netease would be acquiring Quantic Dream six months before it was officially announced (reported via eXputer).

Sources once again restated Quantic Dream’s struggle of hiring staff following allegations of workplace issues, including sexual harassment, crunch, and toxic work culture. In fact, one whistleblower who brought these allegations to light is still in legal battles with Quantic Dream – Which is expected to finalise later this year.

It’s understood that due to the scope of Star Wars Eclipse and alleged issues with hiring staff, the game could be delayed further from its 2026 target. Because of such date targets, Star Wars Eclipse is likely the most far-out Star Wars game that has been announced. So far, there are six announced Star Wars games in development that are yet to release.

8 years after Detroit if it doesn't get delayed.

Pshhhh that's a long time.

Star Wars IP continues to drift and into the hands of mid studios.

Sorta lucky it got into Respawn hands somehow.

Based on the point of view expressed in Quantic Dream's games, these internal issues are very believable.

A 2026 release, would be 7 years development time. Their previous pace was ~5 years. With covid and the PS5 launch, 7 years isn't extremely worrying if the project is actually making progress.

Hopefully it makes it. Detroit was great

Sorta lucky it got into Respawn hands somehow.
