There's already a lot of Star Wars games in development, but it seems like another one may be in a galaxy, far, far away, as it's claimed Quantic Dream - the team behind the original Xbox title Fahrenheit - is working on another game in the franchise.
As reported by VGC, the original claim comes from French YouTuber Gautoz, who says the developer is now collaborating with Disney, having finished its three-contract with Sony (which included Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human).
Gautoz says the team has "finished their contract with Sony and will be signing with Disney", adding "it looks like they will be working on a Star Wars game".
While one rumour isn't usually enough to go on, Tom Henderson, a reliable Call of Duty and Battlefield leaker, has also seemingly corroborated the report. Henderson uploaded a Detroit: Become Human and Star Wars crossover image, adding that he's heard the same as Gautoz, along with liking comments concerning Quantic Dream working on a Star Wars game.
Star Wars reunited under the Lucasfilm Games banner at the beginning of the year, with the brand confirming it's "looking to work with best-in-class teams that can make great games".
With Quantic Dream, if the speculation is true, we imagine it would be a choose-your-own-adventure style game, similar to the developer's previous works. It actually sounds like a pretty cool concept for the Star Wars universe and we'd be excited to see the outcome if the rumours come to fruition.
Would you like to see Quantic Dream make a Star Wars game? Let us know in the comments below.

I liked Beyond: Two Souls and thought Detroit: Become Human was good (very pretty game but the story seemed more forced at times), so be interesting to see what they can do - Star Wars has some settings that might fit this style of game well.
Hopefully it'll be multiplat and not exclusive (timed or otherwise) - no guarantees of that given recent news.
It's starting to feel like because Xbox nabbed Bethesda, Sony is nabbing what they can to get some of that stage light on them. Only, as usual, Sony aims for the legs while Xbox is scoping for headshots. MS are clearly more aggressive this generation and I don't blame them. If Sony fans had it their way there would be no competition and when there's no competition and no choice, a lot of people lose out.
@Hellosmoothskin dont get why your bringing sony into this again? Quantic dream aren't owned by sony and clearly says in the article, they aren't making exclusives for playstation and this star wars game will be on xbox aswell
Quantic dreams games have been been pretty excellent so far and for me they create some very impressive visuals especially the facials.
I miss their kind of games with choices, similar to the telltale games but better and will look forward to playing this if the rumour is true
@uptownsoul yeah tbh after what happened to xbox last gen I do see a lot of salty xbox "elitists" gunning for Sony this gen and have nothing whatsoever to say positive about them. Its exactly the same with the timed exclusives scenario, it ok to buy a massive third party developer to keep some of the best third party games off playstation for ever but playstation is bad for having timed exclusives which will still come to xbox.
This is very interesting. I'd be up for seeing their take on starwars. Its bound to have a decent cast. I just hope the writings up to scratch. One thing's for sure thought, it will be a pretty game.
@Hellosmoothskin how on earth is any of that relevant to this article?
This is about Quantic Dream making a Star Wars game did you end up in the wrong thread?
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/09/star_wars_knights_of_the_old_republic_remake_confirmed_as_timed_ps5_exclusive
Think you meant to be in that one mate.
frankly theres going to be too many starwars games with loads of the old ones already released and more being remade and EA and ubisoft making more star wars games.
Im getting pretty sick of starwars
I wish a talented studio like Quantic dream who always make new IP their talent is wasted on starwars
Removed - inappropriate; user is banned
@SplooshDmg I didn't know Sony fans were so easily triggered haha
@Jaxx420 I don't get it. What do you mean?
@Hellosmoothskin I don't mind your opinion as I already tell from your comments on previous articles where you stand, and that's fine but it's something else when youre saying stuff off topic to the article itself
On a side note, I may not have articulated my point properly and was going to elaborate on why I plan to buy a PS5, but then a couple of regulars who prowl this site looking to convert folks into their JimRyan cult came along and reminded me that I don't need to explain myself to a couple of wet farts.
@UltimateOtaku91 fart, farty farts
Think the Sony comments are given how close they are to Quantic Dream and Disney (it seems).
There's no guarantee yet this will be on Xbox, particularly at launch - hence why Sony are mentioned as this being a timed or full exclusive is very possible and very much in their playbook at the moment.
Yes completely off topic comments aren't really helping, but if anyone is wondering why Sony aren't well-liked over here just think about this - if Microsoft hadn't gone big with Game Pass, Bethesda and better management / decent new consoles, this generation would likely have been even more of a walkover than the last.
Microsoft opening up the wallet to make things a bit more equal is fair enough - you can talk new IPs all you want but they won't bring new players in by themselves, established ones are needed and the Xbox ones generally date back to the 360 thanks to bad management last gen.
Sony needs competition else we get 70 quid games with MTX in them (GT7), and given the major exclusives they have now and the ones they're paying third parties for (timed or not, given 2 years on Forspoken renders it old hat by the time Xbox gets it - if they even bother) they're in no danger of losing this generation but a more equal share brings out the best in both sides
@UltimateOtaku91 "I don't mind your opinion as I already tell from your comments on previous articles where you stand, and that's fine" oh thanks buddy, I'm glad it's fine by you. Thank you
@Widey85 I wish I could word my point like you have, but even then, the regular Sony folk would still be triggered AF
Careful what you say guys, Ultimateotaku is policing what we say about Sony
@Hellosmoothskin Huuuuuuge fart!
@UltimateOtaku91 Mate, it's called Purexbox. It's fine if you're an owner of all consoles, but at least read the room. You've always got something to say about the fans on this site. Throwing words about like elitist but really, the only elitist I ever see on here is you.
@uptownsoul Glad you get it, darling
@Hellosmoothskin Just say Elder scrolls 6 and they're triggered.
@FriendlyOctopus Or mention Starfield, avaowed, Fable, Perfect dark, etc
@FriendlyOctopus To be fair, it’s only a handful of people who he refers to and and they’re just ridiculous.
If the argument is this is an Xbox site so expect fanboys then that’s just sad. I own multiple consoles and like to read news on all of them. Having to wade through nonsense fanboy comments is silly.
@uptownsoul you seem massively offended buddy
@uptownsoul Farts
@FriendlyOctopus as someone previously mentioned my comments are never putting xbox down or saying xbox is crap etc or trying to get people to buy a playstation 5, only thing I've ever done "wrong" is stick up for playstation/sony from the select few elitists (like yourself) on here who seem to only post negative sony posts and troll comments non stop even on unnecessary articles, I've put plenty of comments on here about other stuff but obviously that gets ignored.
to say the amount of users on this site compared to nintendolife and pushsqaure yet the amount of people on who are fanboys who just troll is the same, Ridiculous
@UltimateOtaku91 Friend, you’re not going to get anywhere here. Some of these people have their identities so tied up in their console that criticism of anything becomes a personal attack in their mind.
Reading these comments, I've something I want to express.
Being a fanboy in the early 80's when it was Commodore V Sinclair was embarrassing. In these more enlightened times (stop laughing at the back) I'd hope we would have grown out of it.
Kids these days, they don't know how good they have it!
Really enjoyed all qauntic dreams games especially farenheit but I have absolutely no interest in star wars so I hope they aren't
Hard to find comments about the actual article. Depressing.
Im curious. I would expect what game they do make would be a narrative driven one and not an out and out shooter.
Maybe they are doing a Mandalorian game.
@SplooshDmg I'll add you when I'm on next, so probably tomorrow =)
@UltimateOtaku91 FAAAAARTS
@SplooshDmg Lol I get enough memes on Twitter, and think we should all stay around to help the site - who do really good work.
On PushSquare you get Sony fans who will often agree on the whole, with disagreement and arguments on divisive topics - but not really any Xbox fans who go there deliberately to say something provocative, knowing they'll get a rise.
That definitely happens on this site, and while I think those who want actual debate / have skin in the game (I go to PushSquare as I have a PS4 for example) should be welcomed, there's often some trolling going on.
I get the childish remarks from some may be the equivalent of "don't feed the trolls" (and I likely fall into the trap often by trying to argue) but it doesn't really help the image of this site and Xbox gamers in general - we should probably just ignore trolls or constructively discuss where we can.
Anyway guess let's try to get this back on course - I kinda hope it won't be Mandalorian based unless it explains the story as I keep bouncing off the series as it seems to drag. And on a similar note did anyone else bounce off Heavy Rain after playing Two Souls? I know it was an earlier game but it felt light years behind
@SplooshDmg I don't have a mic yet mind you haha, my wife "accidentally stepped on it" I'm suspicious though...coffee has been tasting weird also
New here, been reading articles as a voyer lol. That guy calling everyone an elitist LMFAO, Otaku. Should change their tag to Karen
quantic dreams is a very talented company, maybe the only company that can create interesting interactice adventures and the only studio i envied from Sony.
I was blown away when i played Fahrenheit on pc , it was way ahead of its time.
i have tried similar games from tell tales or Annapurna but they were nowhere near in quality, graphics etc
It would be really interesting to see their vision on star wars. will it be more action based or similar to their usual style.
@Serious_Snape how sad you created an account just to say that? I'm honoured
In future as people get offended by the word elitist I shall simply use the term xbot
@JohannVanDerSmut I don't ever insult people or atleast I don't try to, by elitist I simply mean those who are xbox fanboys who refuse to touch anything other than xbox, but in the future I shall refrain from using the word elitist
@uptownsoul the double standards on here are unreal, anyone on here can bash sony for no reason and troll comments and no one bat's on eye, then someone sticks up for Sony and then your targeted and branded a fanboy. This site is by far the worse for fanboyism compared to pushsqaure and nintendo life, so far I've counted 12 on here the past week yet nintenfolife and pushsqaure have hundreds/thousands more users
Ya know with the 'influx' (so to say) of new star wars games announcements I kinda get why it was exclusive to EA for a while. I know variety is good and people will be glad to see more SW games made by different devs because it would fit more peoples preferences. But for someone that doesn't really like SW but does like the games I'm kinda feeling overwhelmed.
@Cherip-the-Ripper I wonder if these studios asked Disney for permission to make star wars games though? Or since Disney have been very active lately in terms of marvel and star wars content did disney themselves go around asking developers if they would like to make a game hence why there's quite a few being made
@UltimateOtaku91 Yes there's childish comments on here and yes there's going to be major Xbox fans, but wtf are you on about they don't exist on the other sites, and get called out if they do?
Read the comments on the Deathloop review - there are many fanboys, some who even quote PureXbox saying that it's a game of the year contender and rubbishing the site and those on it because we're waiting for it to come to Game Pass (well duh we have Xboxes so won't have it till then anyway).
The deliberate provoking on this site is much worse and yes probably causes a more fanboy mentality - but trust me the percentage of negative comments on here about Xbox way outdoes that for Sony on PushSquare.
As for elitists who won't touch another console, I have a PS4 but yes I've gone Xbox first this generation as Sony are at the worst they've been since PS3 - price rises, nickel and diming, third party exclusivity bought all over the place and pure lies ("we believe in generations").
I may get a PS5 when the management changes or enough games I want to play are on it - but I shouldn't have to explain my Sony position to be able to comment on them, particularly on an Xbox site given many of their decisions have hurt Xbox gamers
@UltimateOtaku91 Alright Karen
@UltimateOtaku91 I like how you reach for uptownsoul for support.
@Serious_Snape he is a Karen 😂😂😂😂
@Widey85 i didn't day there wasn't any I was saying it's not as much compared to the site user ratio, like I said not once once have i said anything bad about xbox, not once have I said playstations better, not once have I said xbox is crap etc all I did was call out an obvious troll and defend sonys stance on timed exclusives and you can check through my comments on that.
Secondly by elitist I've always meant xbox fanboys and that my phrasing shouldn't be taken as an insult to anyone who just don't want a playstation this gen or those who can't afford one, obviously your not an "elitist" but as I've said I won't use that word in future "debates"
Of course anyone can comment on anything to do with playstation but you can just tell which ones are being honest with their opinion (like you) and those who are obviously trolling/making stuff up
And finally onto a more debate topic I honestly don't think sonys decisions have hurt xbox gamers, how? Buying Bethesda out trumps any timed exclusives sony have, as I've always stated you will still get to play them eventually, Bethesda games being only on xbox might not bother me but there's millions of people who can't afford both consoles and potentially won't play another Bethesda game again because of it. Trust me more sony gamers have been hurt this gen so far than xbox
@Serious_Snape That is...weirdly perfect.
@UltimateOtaku91 you deserve a gold for performing such mental gymnastics
@FriendlyOctopus enlighten me, tell me what I've said that's mental? Tell me what Ive said that's not true?
What a a depressing comments thread this is. It's as bad as a damn Twitter thread.
Here's an idea, how about you just enjoy games, and not tie your identity to the chunk of plastic under your TV? Microsoft doesn't love you, Sony doesn't love you, Nintendo doesn't love you, so why are you lot lowering yourself to pathetic name calling to defend them.
@UltimateOtaku91
Why do you care what other people are saying.
Sony will be fine, whether you care or not.
I hope that helps.
@PapaGlitch
Well said. This devotion to multi national companies. It really is Brave New World! By the Ford!
@Widey85 There's no point in trying to have a conversation with him. Contexualism applies here and unfortunately he's invented a narrative which resonates with his personal perspective of reality and to challenge anything he says, to even illustrate how using terms like Elitism whilst exhibiting elitist behavioural traits of his own, will only force a stronger deflection derivative of cognitive dissonance and selective dogma.
@PapaGlitch From reading back, it seems like there are a few here who want to criticise and debate, and that's okay, but considering it's mainly a Xbox fan site there will always be Xbox fans wanting to defend the thing they enjoy. The question is, do any of these Xbox fans visit the other sites and do the same? If not, then it's slightly clearer who antagonises whl
@UltimateOtaku91 These people are just crazy, you’re better off just not even conversing with them. It’s like how politics work, if you don’t agree with one side, I won’t say which, you get verbally attacked and thrown into some kind of bucket. It’s a joke.
Let's all leave it at a fart. This all started because I dared to have a single opinion and for some reason that's branded me an Xbot. I wasn't attacking anybody or trying to start a fight, yet Otaku and his mate felt inclined to have a go. Funny eh, imagine if I tried doing that over at Pushsquare. Truth is, they have a very bullyish attitude and I can't be bothered for fanboys trying to act like they're not fanboys calling me out for having an opinion on how much I like xbox. So, farts to the lot of them
@Serious_Snape This all started because that fool decided to comment on an article about a SW game about how Sony is trying to do stuff. So if anyone “antagonized” it was the crazy guy who randomly put out a comment regarding Sony in a non-Sony story. Ridiculous.
@Serious_Snape wtf are you even talking about, read my first comment and tell me what I said wrong? I previously stated that maybe I was wrong to use the term elitist, that was just my word instead of saying xbots so I didn't literally mean the definition of elitist every time I said it.
Also yes xbox fans do visit pushsquare and nintendo life to troll but I'm not here trolling, I've been on this site for about 9 months and the only "trolling" thing I've ever done is stuck up for sonys timed exclusives scenario, I comment on other articles aswell just like everyone else on here.
I'm not just some sony troll/fanboy and can even add me on xbox if you eases you to see that I've got a series S and have played quite a lot other games on previous xbox consoles.
@Hellosmoothskin 😩 I'm not calling you out for liking xbox, why would I do that I don't care what you like, I was calling you out for your comment being unnecessary and off topic to the article. But yes let's just leave it at that as it seems we both have created a s**t storm on the comments.... Again 😂
@FatalBubbles I know, the fact is becuase I stuck up for Sony on the timed exclusives thing I've now been branded and will most likely be targeted on other articles I comment on etc and people looking for any excuse to troll me in the future
@UltimateOtaku91 well I can't comment on the amount of marvel games either, hope there'll be some clarification soon by way of an article.
Seems odd that so many developers hadn't been given or took the opportunity to make games with an IP as big as Marvels.
As for the first part, I'm quite sure after the bf2 debacle just before the release of episode 9 of the last trilogy disney was mad at EA and decided to revoke their exclusive right to make star wars games.
It would at least make sense, somewhat.
@UltimateOtaku91 Exactly the reason why this and Push Square are doing down the crapper.
@UltimateOtaku91 Firstly, given this site is the smallest as it was only recently reactivated it's going to seem like a large percentage - a) those more to Xbox are more likely to have sought out this Xbox-specific site and b) given the large amount of PushSquare users who post / troll here it's going to seem quite fractious.
Secondly, Bethesda's first Xbox exclusive this generation is over a year away still.
Sony have paid for exclusivity on Deathloop, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Final Fantasy 14 and Final Fantasy 16 - all of which are out or likely to be out before Starfield, and which Xbox users will get much later or not at all - and that's just the big games.
The stupid Spider Man DLC in Avengers and charging for cross play, plus the lie about "we believe in generations" so Xbox seemed out of touch (so persuading users to PS5) have all either impacted Xbox players or fed the stupid console wars (which Sony pretends to dislike but actively stokes the pile on of Xbox fans online by their large fanboy base).
Finally, your comments - third parties you may comment on normally, but every single Microsoft one you stick the knife in or niggle at something (and yes you're right I'll bring up a few now):
That's just from a quick look - there's many dismissing Xbox as all multiplayer games (there's lots of single player coming plus loads on Game Pass) and dismissing Xbox exclusives for only having Halo this year (as you don't like driving or flying) then listing all the PS5 exclusives including the Bethesda ones.
Obviously you're entitled to your opinion, but if it's going to so often be negative about Xbox it's generally going to be unpopular given the focus of this site.
It might not be deliberate but the often negative vibe while always defending Sony is generally not going to go down well on an Xbox site
@UltimateOtaku91 Btw that's not an attack or trolling of you - I'm happy to debate exclusivity etc. but given if there's a story about first party I can usually find negative comments almost immediately on it.
It gets tiring given by its definition this is more of a "pro-Xbox" site as it relies on the continued existence of Xbox - I'm just hoping those who do seem to prefer Sony can look at how they comment, in the same way I'd like some of the Xbox fans to be a bit more grown up.
Trolling either way is tiring, fills up comment threads and just makes everyone wary of bothering to come here - and again, this isn't just aimed at you but at anyone who generally posts anti-Xbox / pro-Sony stuff
@UltimateOtaku91
Sorry for repeating myself.
Why do you care to defend Sony?
Like I said, it was embarrassing back in the 80's
Spectrum owner: I've got more games that the lot of you!
C64 owner: enjoy your beeps while I'm over here enjoying my SID chip.
BBC Micro owner: enjoy your toys peasants.
As for off topic comments, there is Mods for that.
@Otis_Z_Firefly commodore or bust…. Haha.
Man I like both. Those rubber keys…. Same right now. I can’t choose between the three they all do plenty right and let’s be honest wrong.
Also RIP Clive
@Stocksy
I was C64 first, then was given an old ZX 81 in about '87. Both really great computers for the time. A real programmable computer in the home at consumer prices!
Used the BBC Micro at school, just a brilliant machine. My pal had the cut down version the Acorn. Poor lad.
@Widey85 @PapaGlitch you're both speaking nothing but facts. Kind of sad my vocab isn't as good as yours Widey. Just read through the whole thread and Smoothskin commented on your ability to word yourself, I highly agree.
@Originut firstly I've been calling Deathloop dishonoured 3 since it first got announce which I believe the Bethesda buyout hadnt happened yet.
Secondly why is it just me everyone singles out? What have I said that was trolling? Apart from me saying why sonys timed exclusives aren't as bad as Microsoft buying Bethesda, if that's trolling to you then that's your problem and just block me. But it's funny no one says anything about the obvious xbox troll comments on here
There are plenty of other articles I comment on normally and I've never trolled but gave my view but obviously your choosing to ignore that fact hence why I haven't been banned, I've never once said xbox is crap or playstation is better etc. Everyone had been super sensitive on here lately and I just don't get why.
I haven't been a ***** towards anyone on here and haven't been nasty to anyone or insulted anyone I don't do that.
All this started because I stuck up for Sonys timed exclusives and called out a troll on here with his unnecessary comments then get attacked left right and centre.
Fraser is more than welcome to read through my comments and decide if he thinks I'm a troll or not or if I've somehow said anything wrong/insulting then let me know
@UltimateOtaku91 Yes there are childish / spammy comments from Xbox fans, and I've called them out as not being a great look for this site.
There are other more Sony-leaning posters too, just you generally post more so are more visible - others are also more obviously here to troll so easier to just ignore and report.
I'm more than happy to debate the merits of the different brands approach, and yes on third party stuff I've no issue - the general disdain for Microsoft and the support for Sony does come through in comments on many first party articles though.
That wouldn't be an issue on a multiplat site but given it's an Xbox site it sometimes strays close to being controversial for the sake of argument, which yes isn't encouraged by the community rules - in the same way I wouldn't go on PushSquare and post about Game Pass as I know it's a controversial over there.
Who knows, as the big games start to hit Xbox maybe your feelings will change and you'll feel less need to criticise them anyway
Jeez folks, how boring is this thread? If people want to talk about Xbox and PlayStation comparisons in a constructive manner, then fine. If it's going to descend into petty arguments, it's a bad look for the site, and more importantly prevents people from actually getting involved in the original topic of conversation.
I don't feel like we've really got any choice but to lock the comments on this one now. As mentioned in our Community Rules, we will not accept the following (which are being broken by multiple people in this thread and monitored closely going forward):
Do not "troll" or "bait" other users; Posts that purposefully or systematically go against the grain to trigger a reaction from others are prohibited. Purposefully disrupting discussions with unpopular opinions to create arguments is not allowed, we simply suggest you don't get involved in these conversations. Users that are seen to be continuously trolling or baiting will be banned.
Do not "flame" others; Blatantly argumentative posts directed at others will not be tolerated. While we do allow members to have respectful debate and voice their own opinions, there will be a limit to how far a heated debate can go. Be civil, show respect and do not persistently argue other users.
