The long-dormant Star Wars: Eclipse has lost its lead writer at Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human developer Quantic Dream.
Adam Williams announced on LinkedIn that he was leaving the studio after nearly ten years to start his own. Williams was the lead writer on Detroit: Become Human before taking on the same role on Star Wars: Eclipse.
“After nearly 10 years at Quantic Dream, I am leaving the company to start a new studio with a group of very talented designers and developers,” said Williams.
“We can’t give too much away yet. We’re working on something very innovative, very special and very secret for now. More on that soon. I’ve already reached out to many of you at Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm to thank you for everything on Detroit and Eclipse. It’s been a great adventure.”
Quantic Dream announced Star Wars: Eclipse for 2021 as a narrative-charged action-adventure game set in a galaxy far, far away. Although it was revealed alongside a cinematic trailer, it was still in early development at the time, but Quantic Dream hasn’t released a significant update since.
However, vice president of marketing Lisa Pendse told IGN in September 2023 that it “still exists.” “Can I say it still exists? Because it exists,” she said. “It’s just not finished yet. It’s brewing.”
