Is Star Wars Eclipse in danger of being cancelled?
The Quantic Dream studio is planning layoffs, and if they happen, the developer will not be able to complete his role-playing game.
This week, employees of the French company Quantic Dream went on strike in front of their headquarters in Paris. The purpose of which is, among other things, an attempt to save Star Wars Eclipse, which, according to them, the studio will not be able to complete without 115 employees who are planned to be fired.
This is in no way an act of sabotage. Instead, we're trying to save Star Wars Eclipse. We are short-staffed, like many other companies.

We believe that in its current form, the game is literally impossible to complete if the layoff plan is implemented.

The protest, organized by the French STJV union (which also includes Don't Nod and Ubisoft workers), allegedly coincided with a visit by a delegation from Lucasfilm Games as part of a review of the progress of Eclipse development. Another protesting worker said the strike was an opportunity to send a clear message.
