Press X to Jotraaaz Kammzzzek

A agelong clip agone in, well, this galaxy, actually, Quantic Dream announced that they were making Star Wars Eclipse, a cinematic escapade from the High Jedi epoch successful which everybody tin die. Alice Bee (RPS successful peace) poured soothing lipid implicit the flames of hype by saying it was astir apt going to beryllium rubbish, citing reports of abusive moving conditions. NetEase acquired Quantic Dream successful 2022. Then, thing was shown for galore years. The satellite froze successful anticipation similar Han Solo doing jazz hands done carbonite.

Now, finally, immoderate news, albeit the unofficial kind. Leaked conception artworks and pitching documents person shown disconnected a fewer of the caller game's races.

As discovered connected a now-removed portfolio, and primitively reported by MP1st, the WIP and/or prototype images see shots of a Zenezian, a Rodian, and a Gungan. There are immoderate characters who are described arsenic smugglers, and a mates of imaginable quality names: "Travis" and "Jotraaaz Kammzzzek", which suggests that Eclipse volition locomotion an Aerith and Bob-style way astir the brainfarts of George Lucas naming conventions.

It's worthy noting that galore Star Wars races are highly dodgy caricatures of non-white people, contempt efforts to tidy distant the stinker characterisations of the Phantom Menace era, and Quantic Dream are the creators of Detroit: Become Human, "a monstrously clumsy allegory for racism". I'm not definite I'd spot them with the Gungans.

There's inactive nary merchandise day for Eclipse. Earlier this year, Quantic Dream vice-president of selling Lisa Pendse commented that "one of the astonishing things astir moving with NetEase is that they're not imposing merchandise dates connected us". I ideate different happening they're thankful for is that NetEase person truthful acold spared Quantic Dream from immoderate layoffs amid wider cost-cutting.
