"That new project? A competitive multiplayer game, a markedly new direction for Quantic Dream who usually specialises in single-player, narrative-focused games. Titled Spellcasters Chronices, this new adventure for the team is a 3v3 action-strategy game, but so far the Youtube comments have not been kind to it. Mostly, they seem concerned that this is going to be an attempt to chase the live-service trend and that it will be dead-on-arrival."
"Eclipse was revealed back in 2021 and was in the very early stages of development. The teaser seemed to be more geared toward drawing in new talent than anything else. Since then, insider reports have suggested that the studio has trouble finding and retaining staff, and that their in-house engine isn't well suited to the style of game that Eclipse is."
Quantic Dream has doubled in size since 2018 and is shifting from a single-project studio to a multi-project studio. Development of Star Wars: Eclipse remains ongoing. The studio is concurrently developing a new competitive 3v3 action-strategy multiplayer game titled Spellcasters Chronices. Early YouTube reception to Spellcasters Chronices has been largely negative, with viewers expressing concern that the title pursues live-service trends and may fail. Insider reports indicate the studio faces hiring and retention difficulties and that its in-house engine may be ill-suited to Eclipse's design. The studio's acquisition by NetEase in 2022 may have influenced development timelines. No new release has shipped since 2018.
