French State Funding Boosts Star Wars Eclipse Production at Quantic Dream, Allocating €73M from 2022-2025

A report from the Finance, General Economy, and Budgetary Control Commission of the National Assembly, published online on June 6, 2024, details French state-granted tax credits for video game companies, including Paris-based Quantic Dream. The report indicates that Star Wars Eclipse, approved in 2021, has a projected development budget of approximately 100 million euros. Of this, 73 million euros are designated for spending in France from 2022 to 2025. This substantial budget marks Star Wars Eclipse as Quantic Dream's most costly production to date. For comparison, the studio's previous titles, Detroit: Become Human, Beyond: Two Souls, and Heavy Rain, had budgets of approximately 30 million euros, 27 million euros, and 40 million euros, respectively. This 73 million euro sum, allocated for spending in France from 2022 through 2025, is set to benefit Quantic Dream's projects, including Detroit: Become Human, Beyond: Two Souls, Heavy Rain, De Fait, and Star Wars Eclipse. The report highlights that this allocation provides the studio with the same amount as the combined budgets of its three aforementioned previous games.
