Star Wars Showcase Revives 2 Lost Games
After years of speculation, Star Wars fans finally received a glimpse into the Lucasfilm Games pipeline. The recent 2026 sizzle reel offered tantalizing, albeit brief, appearances from two long-awaited projects: Star Wars Eclipse and the remake of Knights of the Old Republic.
While the reel provided a visual tease, it offered no new gameplay or concrete dates, leaving the community eagerly awaiting further details. However, the mere inclusion of these titles signals that development on both projects is actively underway.
The Mystery of Eclipse
The fate of Star Wars Eclipse has been a subject of ongoing discussion since its initial announcement at the Game Awards in 2021. The game was developed by Quantic Dream, a studio later acquired by NetEase. Despite the fanfare, the project has remained largely silent regarding gameplay and release schedules.
Quantic Dream has not yet provided any new footage or announced a release date, maintaining the mystery surrounding this action-adventure title. Their subsequent appearance at the D23 Expo this year also yielded no new visual information, leaving fans wondering what lies beneath the surface of this epic story.
The KOTOR Remake
Equally intriguing is the status of the Knights of the Old Republic remake. Originally announced in 2021, the development journey was a bit winding, shifting from Aspyr to Saber Interactive. While the team has yet to reveal specific gameplay details or a launch date, one key detail has emerged: the remake is confirmed to be a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 5.
This development path shows that while development can be challenging, the promise of a new iteration for a beloved classic is alive and well.
A Broader Portfolio
The sizzle reel also provided a snapshot of Lucasfilm’s wider gaming ambitions, showcasing a diverse range of titles and properties. The reel featured highlights from numerous games, including Star Wars: Zero Company, which recently launched in late August, alongside other entries such as Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, The Sims 4 – Star Wars: Journey to Batuu, and various LEGO titles like LEGO Star Wars Castaways and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
The portfolio also hints at other upcoming projects, such as Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, announced for 2025 as a spiritual successor to the original KOTOR experience.
Ultimately, the latest from Lucasfilm Games confirms that the franchise is buzzing with activity. Even when the details are scarce, the presence of major titles like Eclipse and the KOTOR remake signals a vibrant future for Star Wars gaming.
