Star Wars Eclipse is a new game being developed by Quantic Dream

A new Star Wars game was just announced at the Game Awards. The game is titled Star Wars Eclipse and it seems to be set in the High Republic Era of the series, which is dubbed a golden age of Jedi.

Star Wars Eclipse – Official Cinematic Reveal Trailer

Star Wars Eclipse is an all-new video game IP for the series, not connected to any past series titles. It’s likely that this entry will be an interactive cinematic experience similar to past games from its developer, Quantic Dream, which has delivered games like Detroit: Become HumanHeavy Rain, and Beyond Two Souls.

The official trailer for the game describes it as “an intricately branching action-adventure game that can be experienced in many ways, and puts the destinies of multiple playable characters in your hands.” This makes it even more likely that it will fall more in line with past Quantic titles, possibly with a more action-focused twist.

The game will feature never-before-seen species and planets of the Star Wars universe, taking place in the Outer Rim. Like many pieces of Star Wars media, Star Wars Eclipse will have a focus on the political side of the world from long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

While we got a good cinematic look at Eclipse, there are no details on its release date or what consoles it will be released on just yet. However, you can keep up to date with the game and any subsequent news on it on its official website, where you can sign up for updates.

EA cancels upcoming Black Panther game and shuts down its developer
Black Panther in Marvel's Avengers: War for Wakanda expansion.

In an internal email shared with IGN, Electronic Arts said it is cancelling the upcoming Black Panther game and shutting down its developer Cliffhanger Games. EA Entertainment president Laura Miele sent the email to staff members and also announced another round of layoffs among the company, although EA did not provide a specific number.

This new wave of layoffs is the third one this year, following another round last month that saw around 300 jobs cut from Respawn and EA's Fan Care teams. "These decisions are hard," Miele wrote (transcribed by IGN). "They affect people we’ve worked with, learned from, and shared real moments with. We’re doing everything we can to support them — including finding opportunities within EA, where we’ve had success helping people land in new roles."
