Workers at Quantic Dream in France report that planned layoffs tied to an internal reorganization would put the studio’s upcoming Star Wars Eclipse at risk. Multiple outlets report on claims from striking or participating developers that the project “literally cannot be finished” if the studio proceeds with job cuts. The dispute centers on a call for industrial action connected to a proposed reduction in headcount. French game union STJV has urged a national industry strike, beginning with a picket line at the studio in Detroit, tied to Quantic Dream.
STJV says 115 jobs are at risk as part of the reorganization. According to accounts relayed by reporters who speak with developers, staff members argue that the remaining workforce would be insufficient to complete development on Eclipse, implying a possibility of cancellation or major disruption if layoffs proceed. The reports reflect workers’ assessments rather than a confirmed change to the game’s development status by the publisher or studio management. As the situation develops, the core issue remains whether the studio’s planned restructuring can proceed without breaking the schedule and staffing requirements for Eclipse.
