Quantic Dream: Strike aims to save "Star Wars Eclipse" and 115 jobs

General News

Summary

Quantic Dream faces a labor conflict after announcing layoffs tied to the cancellation of Spellcasters Chronicles. Employees have gone on strike to try to protect 115 jobs and keep Star Wars Eclipse in development. The studio has shown little progress on Star Wars Eclipse since its 2021 announcement, and the project is now seen as increasingly uncertain. NetEase’s role also matters because the company fully acquired Quantic Dream in 2022 and has recently been cutting back across multiple studio locations. The dispute creates pressure around staffing, project continuity, and studio strategy in the games business.
