Flashback
Last week Sacred Symbols published documents about Star Wars Eclipse.

Sarah is described as an athletic 30-year-old woman who belongs to a humanoid race. This race leads an empire called Zaraan, a race that has not been seen before in Star Wars.
Star Wars Eclipse is an action adventure game being developed by Quantic Dream in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. The game was first announced at The Game Awards 2021. Eclipse is set in an uncharted region of the Outer Rim during the era of the High Republic, known as the golden age of the Jedi. This is at least 200 years before the events of Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
When We Can Expect It
Previously, it was reported that the development process of the game was stuck, and the fate of the project is vague. Tom Henderson wrote that the game may be released no earlier than 2027. Therefore, the plot and characters may change several times during this time.
