While we haven’t heard from developer Quantic Dream about its Star Wars title – Star Wars Eclipse – for quite some time now, some concept art has popped up that indicates that the game might still be well under development. As spotted by Mp1st, the concept art gives us a look at some of the characters that might play important roles in the game.
From the portfolio of one of the artists that has previously worked on Star Wars Eclipse, there are a total of 13 images. Each image comes with a filename that indicates that kind of character that the art was created for. There is concept art for a Gungan character, a Zenezian character, and a Rodian character. There are also a few pieces that have simply been titled Smuggler 1 and Smuggler 2. Interestingly, two of the concept art pieces have been named after specific characters.
The two characters, going by the concept art, are Travis and Jotraaaz Kammzzzek. The names, easily falling in line with other strange and alien-sounding names from throughout the Star Wars universe, would indicate that these two characters will play a more important role in the title’s narrative. The others, on the other hand, might be one-off NPCs that the player might get to only interact with one or two times.
It is worth noting that concept art for a game is typically created in very early stages of its development. This means that these images might also be quite updated, since games often go through many changes over the course of their development.
Quantic Dream has generally continued its silence when it comes to progress on the development of Star Wars Eclipse. However, back in February, studio CEO and head of publishing Guillaume de Fondaumière mentioned that Quantic Dream was unaffected by the studio closures that were going on at the time of various studios under NetEase. For context, NetEase announced its acquisition of Quantic Dream back in 2022.
“[Quantic president] David Cage and I would like to express our gratitude to the fans and friends who have reached out to us in recent days regarding Quantic Dream,” de Fondaumière wrote at the time. “We want to reassure everyone that our studios in Paris and Montreal remain unaffected. We are continuing to develop our projects at full pace, with several open positions available in both locations.”
Development of Star Wars Eclipse has also seemingly been a troubled one. Back in August 2024, lead writer Adam Williams had announced his departure from Quantic Dream. In his announcement, he revealed that he would be founding his own studio.
“After almost 10 years at Quantic Dream, I am leaving to found a new studio – together with a group of very talented designers and developers,” Williams wrote. “We can’t say too much just yet. We are working on something very innovative, very special and, for now, very secret. More on that soon.”
Star Wars Eclipse was announced all the way back in 2021. The game is in development for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
