“Where the formula is changing, we said very clearly we are doing an action-adventure, so the action elements are also going to be very important. Even with the new approach, De Fondaumière says that Star Wars Eclipse is set to be a Quantic Dream title at heart: While the trailer was completely cinematic as opposed to featuring anything in-engine, it indicated that elements like lightsaber combat, space battles, and exploration of the galaxy far, far away will all be selling points of the finished product. While Phase One stories included in the High Republic Initiative start approximately 232 years before the destruction of the first Death Star, visual cues from the trailer (including the wreckage of an N1 Starfighter and a battle involving a Trade Federation Lucrehulk) indicate that the story is set much later in the era, closer to the events of The Phantom Menace. The title is set at an unspecified point in the High Republic Era, which covers hundreds of years representing a time of peace and prosperity for the Republic before its fall into corruption. With Star Wars Eclipse we’re certainly going to keep the fundamental elements of a Quantic Dream game very strong story, very strong characters, multiple playable characters, and of course, giving the players the possibility to change, through their actions and decisions, how the story unfolds.” “I think with each new title we try to innovate, we try to explore new ground. IGN Japan recently spoke to Quantic Dream CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière, who has stated that Star Wars Eclipse will feel in-line with the studio’s other titles, even with a much larger scope and potentially a greater variety of gameplay:

Star Wars Eclipse will retain the core style of game design that players expect from Quantic Dream, despite a larger scale and a more action-adventure approach to gameplay.
