Since its announcement a few years ago, Star Wars Eclipse stood out as one of the most experimental projects ever tied to a larger franchise. The next game developed by Quantic Dream is expected to follow suit based on a story that is featured in the studio's catalog of highly cinematic releases. With no further details on the title since its initial trailer and now its production status, the stakes are high for the game to be properly revealed.
While the visual spectacle associated with Star Wars Eclipse It appears to be one of the most faithful IP video games, the actual content of its gameplay interactivity will ultimately determine its reception. Given the developers' track record of allowing players to put themselves in the shoes of a compelling cast, there needs to be Eclipse to guarantee that fans will be delighted.

Buzz around the title after EclipseThe announcement made it clear that its cryptic tone had the potential to engage fans, but the lack of follow-up since then has led to skepticism. With rumors to prove it Star Wars Eclipse could be delayed until 2027, anyone who has already waited more than three years is likely to simply move on if they desire political Star Wars experience. Working with an IP where most of its fans are interested in its epic action and adventure, this has left the developer with significantly increased pressure to push its vision less towards purely niche appeal.
Earlier this year, the lead author left the studio, seemingly in the middle of developing another game. Losing a key part of what was created Detroit: Become Human considered the pinnacle of Quantic Dream in the eyes of some only further casts doubt on how Eclipse is progressing.

The next Star Wars Eclipse trailer needs to sell Quantic Dream's Vision for the franchise
Locking engaging characters should take precedence over scaling
Exploring and transforming iconic characters was an integral driving force Star Wars since its inception and this fact could be the core Eclipse's success if Quantic Dream plays into it. While setting the High Republic of Star Wars Eclipse it may not be able to utilize the likes of Luke Skywalker or Ahsoka, it may have its own well-developed cast that grows at key moments as the player chooses. If the sequence is as intense as the parts Detroit where Connor holds another life in his hands could be revealed sooner rather than later, it may also interest movie fans Star Wars. The range indicated in EclipseThe single trailer so far leaves many avenues open for the preview scene, but it must act as an important piece of the overarching story that invites speculation.
The biggest hurdle Star Wars Eclipse's gameplay has to overcome is leveraging the weight of its consequences against the typical QTE-based mechanics from the developer's catalog. It might not be reasonable to expect a lightsaber duel in its next trailer, but playing the role of a senator or commander with the fate of entire fleets or even planets in your hands could elevate the simplistic controls to an intense simulation. Innovation on the part of Quantic Dream should not be ruled out, but its best bet is to prove that fans of the previous works should believe in the moving drama Eclipse.
