For better or worse, the timeline between a big triple-A game’s reveal and its actual release can often be a long one. Star Wars Eclipse’s debut trailer was shown at the 2021 Game Awards, and in that time, there’s been nary a mention of the future PlayStation exclusive. Given how Star Wars movies have a habit of getting announced and then quietly euthanized (to say nothing of games that have shared a similar fate) , you wouldn’t be wrong in thinking a similar thing happened to Eclipse. But developer Quantic Dream recently affirmed that it’ll see the light of day.

“Can I say it still exists? Because it exists,” said marketing VP Lisa Pendse to IGN at Tokyo Game Show earlier in the week. When asked about an update on the game, she added that Star Wars Eclipse is currently “just not ready. It’s simmering.” Last year, Quantic Dream had to address similar questions about the game being quietly delayed after reports claimed it was having issues with hiring on staffers in the wake of allegations in 2018 of toxicity and harassment against the studio (including its president David Cage specifically). In response to those claims about the delay, Quantic Dream argued that since it “never announced or promised a launch window for the title,” the game was technically never delayed to begin with.
