STAR WARS GAMES: UPDATES ON ECLIPSE, KOTOR REMAKE, AND OUTLAWS

The Star Wars gaming landscape is set to see significant developments in the coming years, although the immediate future appears somewhat uncertain for several highly anticipated titles. One of the most eagerly awaited games, Star Wars Eclipse, is currently in development by Quantic Dream and is set in the High Republic era, a period of prosperity for the Galactic Republic in an uncharted region of the Outer Rim. Despite its announcement in 2021, there has been little news on the game’s progress. The game is still in the early stages of development, and it remains unclear when it will be released.

Another major project, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, is also facing development challenges. Originally handled by Aspyr, the project was transferred to Saber Interactive after Sony reportedly pulled funding. While the game’s status remains uncertain, the CEO of Embracer Group confirmed in April 2024 that the game is still in development. However, no clear release date has been announced.

In contrast, Star Wars Outlaws, developed by Ubisoft, is scheduled for release in 2024. This open-world action-adventure game is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and follows a protagonist as they navigate the criminal underworld of the Star Wars galaxy. Star Wars Outlaws promises a diverse and engaging gameplay experience, including stealth, speeder bike chases, and spaceflight, focusing on galactic scoundrel gameplay and blaster-centric combat. It is expected to be one of the standout Star Wars games of 2024, offering players a unique perspective on the less explored aspects of the Star Wars universe.

Filipino Translation:

Mukhang madaming kaganapan sa Star Wars gaming world sa mga darating na taon, pero ‘yung immediate future, medyo uncertain pa para sa ibang inaabangang titles. Isa nga sa mga most awaited na games, yung **Star Wars Eclipse**, ay currently in development ng Quantic Dream at ang setting nito ay nasa High Republic era—isang panahon na in full bloom ‘yung Galactic Republic sa isang uncharted area ng Outer Rim. Kahit na-announce na siya noong 2021, wala pa masyadong bagong balita about sa progress ng game. Nasa early stages pa kasi siya ng development, at hindi pa din malinaw kung kelan talaga siya marerelease.

Isa pang malaking project, yung Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, ay may mga development challenges din. Originally hawak 'to ng Aspyr, pero napunta siya sa Saber Interactive after reportedly i-pull out ng Sony yung funding. Though medyo uncertain pa ang status nito, kinompirma ng CEO ng Embracer Group noong April 2024 na tuloy pa rin ang development ng game. Pero wala pa din clear na release date na na-announce.

On the other hand, ang Star Wars Outlaws, na dinevelop ng Ubisoft, ay scheduled naman for release sa 2024. Itong open-world action-adventure game ay naka-set between the events ng The Empire Strikes Back at Return of the Jedi. Sinafollow nito 'yung main character na dumadaan sa mga adventures sa underworld ng Star Wars galaxy. Mukhang promising 'tong Star Wars Outlaws kasi ang daming elements ng gameplay like stealth, speeder bike chases, at spaceflight. Focus din 'to sa galactic scoundrel gameplay with blaster-centric combat. Malamang magiging isa 'to sa mga standout Star Wars games ng 2024 kasi magbibigay siya ng bagong perspektibo sa mga less explored areas ng Star Wars universe.
