Quantic Dream is famous for choose-your-own-adventure games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, where protagonists can die along the way — and apparently, Disney and Lucasfilm have signed off on that idea for its upcoming Star Wars game.
“There’s no game over. Anyone can die, anything can happen, and the story sort of continues,” Quantic Dream marketing VP Lisa Pendse told IGN at the 2023 Tokyo Game Show.
“One of the big focuses we’ve had when we announced Star Wars Eclipse was to make sure it was clear that this is actually an action adventure game that has all of the elements that you would come to expect and want from a Quantic Dream title, which is intricately branching narratives, multiple playable characters,” she told the publication.
Let’s be real: Quantic Dream’s “anyone can die” bad endings are really bad. Gruesome, depressing, or — if you play the early Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit's mini-endings back to back to back — just kind of amusing. I’ve embedded them all at the bottom of this story if you want a peek.
Would Disney really sign off on those vibes for its feel-good Star Wars brand? Well, I’ve gotta admit it’s been getting more flexible lately: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally features lightsabers that can actually dismember stormtroopers after decades of game developers shipping blunt light bats. (There was the occasional cheat code.) The Disney Plus series Andor was a surprisingly mature and well-written show by its close, and you may recall the movie Rogue One doesn’t exactly have a happy ending...
But Pendse also told IGN that the Quantic Dream game is still just “simmering,” with no real update to share since its 2021 announcement, and the Star Wars franchise has a rich history of canceled video games.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Actors Confirm Third Game Is In Development!
Given how big 2023 has been for gaming on numerous levels, it can be easy to forget that certain titles have been out for several months and were really incredible when they arrived. One such title was Star Wars Jedi Survivor. The sequel to Respawn Entertainment’s epic first entry into the galaxy far, far away, was highly anticipated by fans, and many were curious how the development team would handle the continued journey of Kal Kestis. Thankfully, outside of some optimization issues, the game was great, and many consider it one of the many contenders for Game of the Year. But now the question is, what’s next?

Quantic Dream's Star Wars game isn't dead but anyone can die in it
There are many unsightly euphemisms for the various stages of game development. My favourite used to be "sunsetting", aka cancelling a live service game, aka "we dragged the servers outside and smashed them with bats, gangland style". But now there's a new front-runner, "simmering". You know what's simmering? Quantic Dream's Star Wars: Eclipse, that's what. "Can I say it still exists? Because it exists," the developer's Lisa Pendse has revealed in a new interview from this year's Tokyo Game Show. "It's just not ready. It's simmering." Hmm.

Detroit: Become Human dev's take on Star Wars is still cooking, and it'll have the studio's usual storytelling quirks: 'There's no game over. Anyone can die'
I genuinely have a great level of affection for Quantic Dream games—they're all weird, ambitious, narrative rambles with more ambition than sense. Say what you want, I don't think I've ever been bored by one.
