In the last news, star wars eclipse would be far, even very far from its release. The title of Quantic Dream would have been announced very early in order to allow the French studio to recruit new talents for the production of the game, while controlling more fully its communication. Until voluntarily leaking details on the title? In any case, this seems to confirm Tom Henderson on Inside Gaming following recent revelations made by Colin Moriartyex-IGN journalist who revealed all this in his Sacred Symbols podcast.
The first playable character introduced?
First of all, Moriarty asserts that according to the information in his possession, star wars eclipse wouldn’t even have gone into production yetwhich would fit with the idea of the title not releasing until 2026, at the earliest.
Moriarty also claims to have in his possession documents concerning one of the central characters of the game, who would be called Sarah, and who would be in her thirties. She will belong to a new race in the Star Wars universe, the Zaraan, very similar to humans.
The Zaraans are then described as a people where there are few distinctions between men and women (socially speaking), and where military and political aggressiveness is required. When a Zaraan marries, there are military implications and alliances.
In the game, Sarah would just be married to a character named Xendo. While she is described as being a fanatic of the violence shown to her people, Xendo would be presented as a character from the antipodes, ” softer ». Their relationship would therefore be at the center of one of the plots.
What we also learn is that this leak would not be innocent, since it would be orchestrated by Quantic Dream itself. At least that’s what Tom Hendeson says, citing sources who had confirmed the takeover of the studio by NetEase, and this 5 months before the official announcement. All in an effort to gauge the reaction of the community.
We will take all this information with rigor tweezers, whether it is a real leak or not, controlled or real. For the moment, despite the usual reliability of these sources, there is nothing to confirm that these details are true, until the game reappears.
