The trailer doesn’t include a release date or platforms.

You’ll play as a diverse set of “charismatic” characters who each have their own stories, abilities, and role to play in the game’s larger narrative. The High Republic era occurs roughly 200 years before the star of the Skywalker Saga at a time of Jedi strength, though that doesn’t mean evil is at rest in the galaxy.Īccording to the game’s website, it will largely be set in the Outer Rim. The game is set during Star Wars’ High Republic era, which has only recently started being explored in the series’ latest books. Finally, we return to the mysterious drumming only for an ominous figure to rise out of a tar pit, seemingly confirming that some kind of villainous ceremony is coming to a close. Meanwhile, a massive army with an unfamiliar logo seems to be gathering strength. Yoda looks outside the window of the Jedi Temple - likely the one on Coruscant - while citizens across several planets look worried. We then get glimpses of darkness spreading across the galaxy. It starts with a mysterious character banging a massive drum, seemingly as part of a ritual of some sort. The trailer is heavy on mood and very light on details. "The way of life in the Outer Rim is being threatened and you must define your path.So what is Star Wars: The High Republic? Here’s what to know. "Every decision you make can have dramatic repercussions on your journey," Quantic Dream adds, in a press release. That level of choice will be key to the Star Wars: Eclipse story, particularly as it will allow us to "see the galaxy through the eyes of an ensemble cast of multiple, charismatic playable characters, each with their own morality, personality, motivations, and impact upon each other and the story at large." Quantic Dreams says we should expect to find "all-new characters and environments" to the Star Wars franchise, including "never-before-seen species and planets to discover." The studio adds: "This part of the Outer Rim is rife with opportunity – and political tensions that could alter the fabric of peace. Star Wars: Eclipse is set to take us to an "uncharted region of the Outer Rim during The High Republic era, known as the golden age of the Jedi." That means we'll be heading back hundreds of years before the Skywalker Saga, to a time where Jedi and the Galactic Republic was at its most powerful.
