Star Wars: New game from Heavy Rain developers, rumor has it
Star Wars
Apparently, another Star Wars game awaits us soon - from a development studio that many fans probably didn't have on the screen in this regard. According to current rumors, the Quantic Dream team is currently working on such a game. These are the makers of such titles as Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human.The rumor was initially triggered by a video by the French speaker "Gautoz". He said that Quantic Dream recently signed a deal with Sony Interactive Entertainment and a little later signed a new deal - with Disney. The focus should be on developing a game in the Star Wars universe. "Gautoz" did not give exact sources for this claim. But shortly afterwards, the well-known insider and leaker Tom Henderson spoke up. He published a picture of the protagonist from Detroit on Twitter: Become Human, in which two crossing lightsabers can be seen in the foreground - a very clear indication.

Henderson did not name any sources either, but in the past he was very often right with his leaks. He recently reported, among other things, about the postponement of the first-person shooter Battlefield 2042, which came true a little later. Accordingly, there could also be something to this rumor.
Can you imagine a Star Wars game in the style of Heavy Rain or Detroit: Become Human? After all, the focus is not on effectively staged action, but on story, sophisticated characters and profound dialogues. Let us know in the comments!

Heavy Rain Developer Quantic Dream Rumoured to Be Making a Star Wars Game
Quantic Dream, the developer behind Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, is rumoured to be making a Star Wars game.
The rumour has surfaced courtesy French YouTuber Gautoz, who reports that the studio has signed on with Disney. This follows the company's shift to multiplatform after a long history of working exclusively with Sony.
As ever, all rumours should not be taken at face value, but Dualshockers reports that it has its own sources that confirm that Quantic Dream is working on a Star Wars game. The site reports that its source 'provided overwhelming evidence' of having connections within Quantic Dream, and that the Star Wars game has been the studio's project for around 18 months. The report notes that is is unclear what exactly that 18-month timeframe entails, but rumours within the 'French developer community' suggest the game may have only begun full development in the past few months.
Have you played Detroit: Become Human?
YESNO
While there has been no official word surrounding an upcoming Star Wars game from Quantic Dream, Dualshockers' reporter, Tom Henderson, captured a screenshot from Twitter that showed the company had liked a tweet discussing the rumours. This far from confirms that Quantic Dream is making a Star Wars game, of course, but the studio has since removed its like from the tweet.
While it remains unclear whether Quantic Dream will announce a Star Wars project in the future, one game from a galaxy far, far away that has been confirmed to be in the works is a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. A new version of the 2003 RPG was announced at this year's PlayStation Showcase and will feature Jennifer Hale as she reprises her role as Bastila Shan. The upcoming KOTOR remake is set to be coming to PlayStation 5 as a console exclusive at launch alongside a PC release, with other consoles possibly to be revealed at a later date.
