We’ve heard rumours of two Quantic Dream games, so in addition to the already announced Star Wars: Eclipse, we’ll also be talking about the French studio’s PlayStation 4 tech demo.
The Twitter account AccountNGT is an excellent place to keep an eye on the David Cage-led studio, as it’s here that a picture of the Star Wars: Eclipse announcement trailer has surfaced a whole week before the official unveiling. So there must be some connection with the French studio, and it’s unnecessary to go into any more detail than that. Now let’s see what the leaker has written about the Star Wars licensed game.
According to them, Star Wars: Eclipse will operate in the action-adventure genre and be an open-world project based on interactive storytelling. It will also feature a multiplayer segment, and Quantic Dream’s Montreal studio is responsible for this and the gameplay and story design aspects. Meanwhile, the Paris team is working on the cinematics, story, art style of the maps and engine for the development, which allegedly started in early 2021. The story is still a work in progress, and the Quebec-based studio has reportedly lifted gameplay from The Last of Us for its prototypes…
But then let’s talk about the PlayStation 4 tech demo. According to AccountNGT, the project, which has surfaced as The Dark Sorcerer, already has a codename. Dreamland, according to Tom Henderson. The leaker calls it a humour-based game (we’ve heard that before), but the Canadian studio is not working on it. The Paris-based team handles it, and it’s a game that could be called more advanced than Star Wars: Eclipse. We don’t yet know how much Quantic Dream’s new strategy might change the idea that this will be a cross-gen game… but with the Star Wars project not due to be finished anytime soon, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the French company is expecting consoles AFTER the PlayStation 5/Xbox Series.
Whatever it is, we’ll have to wait a long time for those two games because Cage is not in a hurry to get things done. There’s even room for a refrain at the end: all this is, of course, unofficial.
