Sources: Quantic Dream's Star Wars Title Has Been In The Works for 18 Months

We have seen evidence of that the Quantic Dream Star Wars game has been in the works for a period of around 18 months now.

www.dualshockers.com

After Quantic Dream’s three-game deal expired with Sony in 2018, after the release of Detroit: Become Human, the president and founder of the studio, David Cage, began exploring new opportunities and partners.

The rumor was first reported by French YouTuber and ex-journalist Gautoz on September 16, it was reported that “They’ve [Quantic Dream] now finished their contract with Sony and will be signing with Disney”

In a separate conversation, however, I was also speaking to an individual who provided overwhelming evidence that he had contacts at Quantic Dream and reported that the Star Wars game by the studio has been in the works for around 18 months.

The evidence was that concrete in fact, that I reported on the findings with a somewhat of a small cryptic tweet whilst the investigation into the news continued.

It’s still currently unclear on what exactly the 18-month time span entails, with rumors within the French developer community suggesting that the title could have just started full development in the past several months.

What makes the recent bits of information more interesting though, is that the official Quantic Dream Twitter handle liked a tweet of the Star Wars rumor by thegamepost, but the like has since been removed.

KOTOR with all dialog and no combat.

A choose your own adventure SW game.

 

[nush]

About time they cancelled that then...

 

[yurinka]

I would be interested in this game. They also said that to self publish their own games didn't mean that they would stop woking for Sony, they said they kept that door open for future potential colaborations with Sony. I'd be interested on another Sony game from them.

This is one of those perfect marriages of IP + developer.

The potential for a narrative adventure game set, for instance, within the criminal underworld of Coruscant is huge.

I’m all about this. The only issue I have with Quantic Dream games are the batshit crazy stories that sometimes come out of them, but I would imagine Lucasfilm and Disney would keep that under control.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Are there any SW games in the past that are strictly story/QTE?

Can’t be worse than the sequels.

 

[j0hnnix]

I'm down for this. Have always enjoyed a weird David Cage game.

 

[El Pistolero]

A narrative story based entirely on Jar Jar Binks' struggles. Knowing Cage's writing skills, he would do the character justice...

Their PS4 tech demo remains the best Quantic Dream IP, work.

 

[Airbus Jr]

I thought Ubisoft now have all the rights for Star Wars game IP?

 

[eastcoastkody]

what if this is the Mandalorian game.

I have to huddle grogu upstairs before a drunk beats them

 

[Team Andromeda]

Looking forward to this

 

[bender]

David Cage finally found a subject his garbage writing is worthy of.

Nope, anyone can now pitch a star wars games to Disney/LucasGames

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Final battle - Luke vs Darth Vader

5 minutes of cut scenes.

Both characters bring out their light sabers.

Press X, LS clockwise, RT x2. Hit!

Darth Vader is now stunned and on his knees.

Press RS back, then RS forward to simulate a stabbing thrust.

You win.

The perfect potential... no strings attached, your creativity can roam freely.

Ofc they will.

Nah, the thing is more like EA won't have the exclusivity over console Star Wars games anymore, as their 10 year deal is set to expire by FY23 (aka Early 2023). That's why we've started to hear about titles such as the Ubisoft Massive SW game, the KOTOR Remake and now this new SW project by Quantic Dream, all of which are not coming out earlier than 2023-2024.

 

[Hydroxy]

This could be awesome,.. Or mediocre. Well at least David Cage doesn't make bad games.

You make it sound like so much fun.

Midichlorians...

 

[Certinty]

I'm excited, Heavy Rain and Detroit are two of my favourite games these past few generations. Can't believe Sony didn't buy them.

 

[mxbison]

That's cool.

Their games are really well made and I don't know why people hate on them. Not like the market is getting flooded with these games, you want everyone to do the same?

 

[GymWolf]

Well, it can be worse than the new trilogy (hopefully).

 

[Clear]

Detroit is really damn good. Regardless of what you think of Cage, as an all-round piece of work (tech, art, game-design) its hard to argue that QD haven't nailed the process of making high-quality interactive movies at this point. And with the advancements in hardware their next project should be even more impressive.

I can see why some people don't like Cage as a writer/director, but that's no reason to overlook the many positive aspects of their output.

 

[Marvel]

Wanted more of that Detroit universe tbh, but I'll take star wars.

More Connor-Hank adventures

What We’ve Heard About A Quantic Dream Star Wars Game

Sources say the Heavy Rain studio's next game could be more action-focused

kotaku.com

Kotaku has heard the same from a third, separate source with knowledge of the studio’s development plans. According to this individual, Quantic Dream has indeed been working on a Star Wars game for approximately a year and a half, but it won’t be the conventional type of quick-time-event-driven game we’ve come to expect from the French studio. Instead, they said, the game will have more traditional action gameplay, and possibly even open world and multiplayer elements.

 

[JoeBudden]

Man I really hope David Cage doesn't over think the plot on this one. This could be really good (Detroit Become Human) or really bad (Beyond Two Souls).

 

[Maximusz]

Can't wait to walk all around in this game

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Javthusiast]

I may have been excited if they improved their old ass clunky gameplay. And more importantly, Cages trash, hammer you over the head with it's themes, dialogue.

But they haven't in all their games so far.

 

[DarthPutin]

Really curious what their relationship with Sony at this point. Ruined by the scandal? Good enough to moneyhat temporary exclusive? (Not wishing for it to be clear). Just curious if they want to do much with each other.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

One Star Wars game W and we're right back to taking Ls.

 

[DonF]

The evidence was that concrete in fact, that I reported on the findings with a somewhat of a small cryptic tweet whilst the investigation into the news continued.

Oh ...First, I puked a little and second, the author of that note is as subtle as a sledgehammer. Literally a character of detroit with 2 lightsabers lol..


I suppose it could be cool. Im in the band of persons that actually likes QD games. I loved detroit.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I have a feeling this will be balls to the wall insane.

 

[EDMIX]

This whole game about to be a conversation tree with QTEs lol

I love QD but.....I worry about this one.

 

[Neff]

Can’t be worse than the sequels.

Pretty much. If you'd have told me in 2015 that a David Cage Star Wars game had a legit shot at being better than an actual Star Wars movie, I'd have laughed my ass off.

Unfortunately, that was then and this is now.

[DeepEnigma]

Their High Republic shit has been so hollow and lame.

They want to try so bad to be “oh so original” and avoid already established and far better material. Most of their retcon shit from OG EU works to me, have felt like we are living in the Twilight Zone of just bastardizing past quality and passing it off as your own. It’s been painful to watch.

It’s one part hubris as a company, and another part royalty avoidance.

Once they reset the cannon I lost a lot of/all my interest in the EU. I understand why they did it but I dont think they have done a good job with the new EU at all. Give me Legends!

Can't wait for the obligatory awkward nude\sex scene between the queen of teeth and manchild ren.

More Connor-Hank adventures

This is what i actually wanted from Quantic Dreams.

 

[Ammogeddon]

As soon as I heard the rumours of the High Republic setting I lost interest.

Cuz who doesn’t love quirky controls, plot holes and inconsistencies, and horrible dialogue in their Star Wars games.
