JAKARTA – Quantic Dream, which has successfully developed Detroit: Become Human, is alleged to have signed a contract with Disney to work on a new Star Wars game. This news comes after the Paris-based company finalized a three-game deal with Sony in 2019. Quantic Dream has also become fully independent since last February.

Founded by French game designer and writer David Cage in 1997, Quantic Dreams is mostly known for its narrative-based game titles that often blur the line between video games and interactive films.

The studio gained notoriety with the 2005 supernatural title Fahrenheit (known in America as Indigo Prophecy) and has since honed its interactive narrative approach with a trio of exclusive titles on the PlayStation, Heavy Rain (2010), Beyond: Two Souls (2013), Detroit: Become Human. (2018).

The games produced by Quantic Dreams are known for featuring branching paths and multiple endings, and are more famous for weird twists that appear out of nowhere. They also own a studio and have had some very real legal trouble with allegations of an unsafe work environment surrounding the making of Detroit: Become Human.

If the latest report by VGC is to be believed, Quantic Dream could be heading towards making Galaxy Far, Far, Away for its next genre-destroying interactive adventure.

Earlier this week, French YouTuber Gautoz claimed that Quantic Dreams signed an exclusive deal with Disney to start working on a new Star Wars game. Leading gaming industry “insider” Tom Henderson appeared to corroborate this claim on Twitter, when he posted an image of a cryptic mashup of two Lightsabers in front of Detroit: Become Human. However, Daniel, stated that there has been no official confirmation about this mystery project.

These rumors come at a crossroads for Star Wars-based video games, as Lucasfilm recently announced that they would be terminating their exclusive deals with EA and allowing publishers to pitch their own ideas for new titles set in the Star Wars universe. iconic.

In addition to the expected sequel to the successful Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2019 and the recently announced remake of the 2003 classic RPG Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, Ubisoft is currently working on an open-world Star Wars game, but details on what is the new title of this game is still few and rarely known to the public.

Nothing has officially confirmed the collaboration between Quantic Dreams and Disney on the creation of a new Star Wars game. It's worth noting, however, that Quantic Dreams isn't shy about exploring deep philosophical themes like in a game called Detroit: Become Human. The philosophical theme itself is something that Star Wars is also familiar with since the endless struggle between Light and Dark Sides of the Force is one of the main driving factors in the story of the Star Wars franchise.

It will definitely be interesting to see what Quantic Dreams does with the Star Wars universe, should rumors of a studio working on this new Star Wars game come true.
