Gamers are still buzzing about the recently released Star Wars Outlaws, but this is the GFFA and things never stay still for long, so as they always do eyes turn to the future and what’s on the horizon, and Space.com take a look at what’s imminent and what’s long-term, including some high-profiile releases.
Star Wars Eclipse
Platforms: TBC (likely PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S)
Release date: TBC
Developer: Quantic Dream
The Acolyte’s cancellation doesn’t mean Lucasfilm is stepping away from the High Republic era anytime soon. In fact, it’s quickly become a fan-favorite period of Star Wars history among avid readers, so it only makes sense that someone is working on a huge AAA video game set during the golden age of the Republic.Late 2021 brought us a stunning CG trailer that unveiled Star Wars Eclipse to the world, but the truth is not much is known about it at this point. Both Lucasfilm Games and Quantic Dream (Detroit: Become Human) have been teasing that it’s a very ambitious action-adventure game full of flexible narrative systems and open-world elements, but at the same time, there have been reports of trouble at the developer with hiring and engine-related struggles, so we expect some turbulence ahead.
We have the already announced Star Wars Jedi 3 from Respawn Entertainment, a strategy game from Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor, the KOTOR remake from Saber Interactive and an as-yet untitled action adventure game from Skydance New Media. Plenty to look forward to for gamers over the next few years.
