Developers say Quantic Dream's Star Wars: Eclipse is understaffed

You're forgiven if you'd forgotten about Star Wars: Eclipse. After being revealed with a flashy cinematic trailer in 2021, all we heard about Quantic Dream's Star Wars game was the briefest of mentions in a blog post by studio founder and CEO David Cage last year, in which he said, "Of course, development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues, and we are eager to share more with you in the future." Quantic Dream was also working on a live-service game at the same time, a MOBA called Spellcaster Chronicles, which suffered a fate all too common in the genre when the plug was pulled on it back in May.

115 staff who worked on it came in line for the inevitable layoffs. French outlet Gamekult relayed employees' claims that those staff are needed to help with a struggling Star Wars: Eclipse, and that laying them off will hurt its chances of ever being finished.

They went on strike during a studio visit by LucasFilm to get their point across. "It's far from being an act of sabotage.
