Star Wars has had a bit of a rough streak when it's come to games recently. Having only an MMO to please the many fans, the franchise was due for another Knights of the Old Republic, instead of a The Force Unleashed II. And lucky for us, that moment might have just arrived.
LucasArts has now officially announced a new Star Wars game called Star Wars 1313. The name itself reminds me somewhat of the Banlieu 13 franchise, or District 13 depening on where you live. The district featured in both of the movies were pretty hardcore fubar'd, and it looks like this game is delivering on the same level.
"As players take control of a lethal bounty hunter in a never-before-seen dark and mature world, Star Wars 1313 introduces an integrated development approach by bringing together great artists across the Lucasfilm organization, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound. A third person cinematic action adventure game, Star Wars 1313 will bring to life the Coruscant underworld, the most dangerous place in the Star Wars™ galaxy.
Named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant, the game puts players in control of a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy. Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than supernatural Force powers, to make his way through this dangerous world."
The president of LucasArts, Paul Meegan, had this to say regarding this game.
"We’re excited to share one of the projects LucasArts has been hard at work developing. Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we’ve always known existed, but never had a chance to visit. We are committed to bringing the best gameplay experience and visual fidelity to life and I truly believe the work we are showcasing at E3 will speak for itself.”
Expect this game at e3 of 2012 or go to www.starwars1313.com
Son, I am excite!
