After making a trilogy of exclusive titles for Sony consoles, Quantic Dream decided to take the plunge into development independent and cross-platform. Part of this was possible thanks to the collaboration with the Chinese company Netease, who acquired a minority stake in the company’s shares.
Now, following the striking announcement of Star Wars Eclipsehis next game set in the saga created by George Lucas, it seems that Quantic Dream would be bought by another company during this same year 2022, as commented by insider Tom Henderson.

The company that would acquire the developers of Heavy Rain or Detroit: Become Human would be none other than Netease itself, which would extend the current deal to the point of acquiring the entire studio. The negotiations would take time to develop, and the reasons that would have led the study to seek this deal would have been the need for more funds for the development of the ambitious Star Wars Eclipse.
Quantic Dream has been experiencing trouble in recent months finding staff to work on Star Wars Eclipse, primarily due to ongoing rumors and accusations of harassment and discontent among study workers.
