Check out the announcement trailer for Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic, developed by Arcanaut Studios in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. Star Wars: F...
I want to be enthusiastic about this. I really, really do… but Star Wars has just burned me so hard this past decade announcing exciting projects only for them to never be heard from again. Remember that High Republic game? That was announced years ago now, and we’ve not heard anything since.
Star Wars Eclipse was announced in 2021. It’s a Quantic Dream game, they usually take their time, deliver a polished release and don’t really talk about stuff until the release. I’d rather they take their time than release the shit everyone else does. That’s probably the worst example to use of Star Wars stuff being bad recently.
Also there are rumors that that was effectively a recruitment video which would also push it to very early stages of development. Makes sense though probably better for a large project to get a bunch of people from the start and delay development a bit at the beginning than to delay development later due to fuckery.
It’s also par for the course with recent Quantic Dream announcements.
The Kara tech demo was released March 2012 (over a year before the current game they were working on, Beyond: Two Souls released). And Detroit: Become Human gave us the corresponding game for Kara but didn’t release until May 2018. So that’s 6 years from announcement/introduction of a new game to it’s release.
Forgot about that bit, but yeah makes sense then that we haven’t heard shit since they are at best still polishing things up. If there’s one thing I can give Quantic Dream it’s that their games are generally well polished baring a few bugs (JASON!) or scattershot writing (beyond two souls).
Hopefully it’s a step in the right direction for Star Wars?
EDIT: Before you riot, my distaste with her has nothing to do with her being a woman, and everything to do with her being needlessly antagonistic to people and her being a writer on such “banger” games as Anthem and Call of Duty Vanguard.

Abandoning stuff like 2313 and moving forward with shit like Outlaws is baffling to me.

Well at least Sam Maggs isn’t on this one.
