Quantic Dream has issued a new statement insisting that development on Star Wars Eclipse is continuing “as planned” and denies claims that the project is under-manned.

This follows last week’s strike action, during which Star Wars Eclipse developers walked out in protest over the closure of Spellcasters Chronicles and claimed that Eclipse could not be completed with its current team size. Workers argued that developers from the cancelled project should be reassigned rather than laid off, saying the studio lacked the manpower needed to finish the Star Wars title.

In its statement to IGN, Quantic Dream said the shutdown of Spellcasters Chronicles was driven by “challenging market conditions” and that Star Wars Eclipse remains unaffected. The studio says the game has “the full commitment of its team and all the necessary resources to complete its mission”. Quantic Dream added that its priority is supporting employees impacted by restructuring and declined to comment further.

This directly contradicts the concerns raised by striking staff, who maintain that Star Wars Eclipse requires additional support and that the studio’s current plan leaves the project under‑resourced.

KitGuru Says: It has been around five years since Star Wars Eclipse was announced and the game is still not in any sort of state to show publicly. If that was the plan, then it's a pretty bad one.

A couple of days ago, some employees of French developer Quantic Dream staged a strike in front of the studio's Paris headquarters in an attempt to save both up to 115 colleagues (who are on the verge of being laid off) and the studio's big Star Wars Eclipse project. Let's hit the rewind button for a minute. The development of Star Wars Eclipse, formally announced at The Game Awards 2021, has reportedly "simmered" for years as the studio struggled in many areas, including hiring new talent. Then, in late 2025, Quantic Dream announced another game, the 3v3 MOBA Spellcasters Chronicles, […]

Quantic Dream developers have reportedly begun strike action this week, urging management to redirect resources toward the Star Wars Eclipse team. More than 100 developers who previously worked on Spellcasters Chronicles have been left without an active project during a time when the Star Wars Eclipse team desperately needs extra hands.

According to a number of Quantic Dream employees speaking with the French outlet Game Kult, the strike aims to convince management to re-assign Spellcasters Chronicles developers to Star Wars Eclipse. The sources describe the Eclipse team as severely understaffed, with progress on the game moving slowly. According to those involved, bringing over the Spellcasters team would give Eclipse the manpower it needs to move forward at a reasonable pace.

Developers also point out that it has already been a month since Spellcasters Chronicles was shut down. During that time, the affected staff could have been trained on Eclipse’s internal tools and pipelines, putting the project in a far healthier position today. Instead, many of those workers have spent weeks with little or no assigned work while waiting for management to decide their future.

Game Kult’s report includes testimony from multiple employees who say the strike is intended to “save” Star Wars Eclipse, not hinder it. They warn that if the planned redundancy programme goes ahead, the game cannot be finished in its current state. Some also expressed frustration with Quantic Dream’s top‑down structure, claiming that unclear direction and discarded work have already slowed development.

KitGuru Says: It has been five years since Star Wars Eclipse was announced but the game is still not close to release. In the current gaming market, that kind of time spent with little return can be a death sentence for a studio.

The road to launch for Star Wars: Eclipse is still very much uphill, according to new rumors. Speaking on the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast (Ep. 64), Mike Straw mentioned that the game is still in development hell, and French developer Quantic Dream may soon be sold by NetEase. Mike Straw: I can tell you one game not to expect. Star Wars Eclipse. I wouldn't expect to see that at all. It is in development hell. Yeah, it ain't going well. NetEase, they want to divest from Quantic Dream. I'm not going to be surprised if Quantic Dream was sold by […]

Quantic Dream joins the seemingly ever-growing list of traditionally single-player focused studios to have a failed multiplayer title. The studio announced today that it is halting development of Spellcasters Chronicles, its free-to-play 3v3, PvPvE hero-based MOBA that launched in early access earlier this year. It's an unfortunate end, of course, for the team at Quantic Dream who truly believed in what they were making with Spellcasters Chronicles, but its shuttering is about as surprising as the sun rising. Particularly when you consider that it never captured the attention of more than 900 players at one time on Steam since it […]

While the most recent entry in the Mortal Kombat series may not have set the world of fire, long-time fans of the franchise were treated to a welcome release last year in the form of the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. Though the collection did feature a number of modern conveniences including online multiplayer and rollback netcode, a new update has arrived with crossplay support, VRR options and more.

Making the official announcement, the team behind the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection – Digital Eclipse – unveiled the latest update, writing: “We're very happy to confirm that today's update for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection includes what has been far and away your most-requested feature. That's right – it's time for Krossplay!”

Supporting both Quick Play and Online Arcade modes, crossplay is now available on all platforms; meaning PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Another major addition comes in the form of 2v2 Kombat Online, in which players can use a team of two fighters against one another. Previously limited to local play, this update allows for full online support across its available games (Ultimate MK3; MK Trilogy and MK4).

Last but not least, the update also introduces support for VRR (variable refresh rate), allowing for a more accurate representation of the game while also reducing input latency.

Unfortunately, this marks the final major update coming to the MK Legacy Kollection, with future patches being limited to bug fixes and minor improvements. That said, with this latest update Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is in an excellent place and so there isn’t too much more which could be added.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the collection? What’s your favourite Mortal Kombat game? Does your display support VRR? Let us know down below.

Star Wars Eclipse was first announced in 2021 but very little new information has come out about the game since. As it turns out, the reason for that is simple – development has been moving very slowly, with the game still projected to be ‘years away'. 

It has been almost five years since Star Wars Eclipse was announced. Typically, a modern AAA game can take five to seven years to develop on average, so the game should be pretty far along at this stage. Unfortunately, according to Insider Gaming, that is not the case, with a source claiming that the studio has been making “very little progress over months”.

It is also claimed that at this point, even years on from the game's reveal, it is still “years off from completion”. In the interim, Quantic Dream has also branched out to take on other projects, including its first multiplayer game, Spellcasters Chronicles, which is now available in Early Access form.

Star Wars Eclipse is supposed to be part of Disney's push towards the High Republic era of Star Wars, which we also got a glimpse of in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Like most single-player Quantic Dream titles, Star Wars Eclipse is supposed to be a choice-driven game, with many different story outcomes spread out over a branching narrative.

KitGuru Says: If you've been looking forward to Star Wars Eclipse, it sounds like you'll be left waiting for quite a while longer. At this point, we may have to start taking bets on whether or not this makes it out before Casey Hudson's newly announced Star Wars Old Republic game. 

Star Wars Eclipse, the upcoming action-adventure game that players actually want to see more of from Quantic Dream, is reportedly struggling in its development, as we're coming up on five full years since its reveal in 2021 and development is said to be "very slow going." So slow that the game is apparently "years off from completion," and that's if it actually does get finished, which it might not if Quantic Dream's recently multiplayer title, Spellcasters Chronicles, can't help bring in the funds needed to get Eclipse made. This all comes from a new report from Insider-Gaming, who claim to […]
