Quantic Dream is calling it quits on Spellcasters Chronicles, the multiplayer fantasy MOBA it launched on Steam just this year. The Detroit: Become Human studio said it’s ceasing development after the game failed to find an audience, but promised the changes won’t impact its upcoming project Star Wars Eclipse.
“With this project, our teams set out to explore new creative territories and create a bold, original multiplayer experience,” the French studio announced on X. “Spellcasters Chronicles allowed us to experiment with new concepts and bring to life an ambitious game shaped by the talent, creativity, and dedication of everyone involved.”
It continued, “However, in today’s particularly challenging market environment, the game has not reached the audience needed to ensure its long-term sustainability. We have therefore made the difficult decision to refocus our efforts on our other projects.”
Quantic Dream confirmed a “reorganization” will result from the decision to abandon the game, suggesting the studio will face layoffs. It added that these cuts would not impact the ongoing development of Star Wars Eclipse, a game first teased years ago and which seems slated to potentially be a PlayStation 6 release at this rate.
