The Game Awards recently concluded, bringing many new game announcements. From a new Wonder Woman game to the first look at gameplay for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, the night was filled with exciting news for fans of video games. However, perhaps one of the biggest pieces of news was the reveal of a new Star Wars project.Introduced in a stunning cinematic trailer, Star Wars Eclipse is a new game in development from Quantic Dream. While the trailer failed to show any actual gameplay, this new project has already made a buzz in the industry. Unfortunately, details have been uncovered suggesting fans might be waiting a long time to play the title. Tom Henderson is a prominent industry insider who has made many reputable leaks about games over the years. Recently, he discovered some disappointing news regarding the new Star Wars project. In a December 10 tweet from the industry insider, fans learned several possible details about the timeline for the in-development title. “Eclipse is believed to be around 3-4 years away,” Henderson said. If this projected wait wasn’t already bad enough, he revealed that this was the “minimum” amount of time necessary to complete the development of the project. Sadly, this means that despite the breathtaking trailer unveiled yesterday, the game is likely only in the early stages of production.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1469303033356070917[/EMBED_TWITTER]In addition to this possible release window, Henderson had details about the story for the game. While most of the information regarding the plot remains unknown, besides the fact that it takes place during the High Republic era, this recent tweet unveiled the team handling the writing. According to Henderson, Quantic Dream Paris is working on the story. In addition, he claimed that David Cage is playing a substantial role in crafting the narrative.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1469306809404035074[/EMBED_TWITTER]Besides these details, there was also an update on the status of developer Quantic Dream. Based on the information from Henderson, it seems that Quantic Dream Paris is having difficulty filling positions at the studio. According to the industry insider, the developer currently has over 60 job openings at its Paris location, with nine more in Montreal. While the reason for the shortage of employees wasn't mentioned, it could have to do with the controversy-filled history of Quantic Dream.It’s worth noting that this information regarding a release window for Star Wars Eclipse has yet to be confirmed by the developer, meaning this release date could be inaccurate. However, it seems like it has a reasonable shot of being correct, given Henderson's track record. After all, he predicted a new Star Wars game from Quantic Dream was in development several months ago. Regardless, time will tell what the future holds for this upcoming game set in a galaxy far, far away.Star Wars: Eclipse is currently in early development.
