Star Wars Eclipse Development Is on Track, Says Quantic Dream
Quantic Dream has responded to concerns raised by striking developers, asserting that Star Wars Eclipse development remains on schedule. The statement addresses allegations from staff members that the project is severely understaffed and requires additional resources to proceed effectively.
The dispute follows Quantic Dream’s decision to cancel Spellcaster Chronicles, a move intended to redirect development resources and revenue toward Star Wars Eclipse. According to earlier reporting, Eclipse’s development had been progressing slowly, raising questions about the project’s pace and resource allocation.
Striking developers have countered the studio’s optimistic assessment, claiming that incorporating approximately 115 or more staff members from the discontinued Spellcaster Chronicles project would not constitute overstaffing, but rather provide necessary support for the game’s development. This suggests significant concerns within the development team about current workforce levels.
The situation reflects ongoing tensions in the gaming industry regarding labor practices and resource management. While Quantic Dream maintains that Eclipse is developing as planned, the employee perspective indicates frustration with staffing decisions.
