Quantic Dream, the studio working on Star Wars Eclipse, shares a highly awaited update in the wake of closures under parent company NetEase.

Detroit: Become Human and Star Wars Eclipse developer Quantic Dream has confirmed it is "unaffected" by recent NetEase cuts and layoffs.

Quantic Dream's CEO, Guillaume de Fondaumière, shared a post on LinkedIn, announcing that all is seemingly well at the firm (thanks, IGN ). In fact, Detroit sold over two million copies in 2024 (released in 2018), passing an impressive 11 million to date. Fondaumière wrote, in part:

Remember years ago? Nearly four, to be exact? We told you that Quantic Dream was working on a Star Wars game. Shortly after that news, a trailer followed, which only increased our excitement and made us more confident that we would soon be able to shape a Star Wars story to our liking.

What's worrying here is, Marvel Rivals took off like a rocket when it launched in December 2024, and it seems the game has not slowed down. NetEase has reported that the game has accumulated 40 million players already, translating to $2.9 billion revenue from the age already.

On Monday, the NetEase studio headed by former Control lead designer Paul Ehreth released a statement confirming it “has not been affected by any studio closures”, adding that it remains “full steam ahead” building its debut game.

As reports of funding cuts and layoffs at NetEase circulate, associated video game companies like Quantic Dream are assuring the public that their developers aren't affected – and neither are their games,
