Page 2 of 2 "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is one of the most ambitious projects LucasArts has ever launched. The combination of a great new Star Wars story with revolutionary new technology and game play means more fun than you've ever had in the Star Wars universe," said Peter Hirschmann, Vice-President of Product Development, LucasArts. "We can't wait until gamers get their hands on it this September." Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the first next-generation game developed internally at LucasArts, and will be available on the Xbox(r)360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION(r)3 computer entertainment system. As its name implies, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time together: Digital Molecular Matter, by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. LucasArts and developer Krome Studios are creating an equally enthralling version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the Wii(tm) home videogame system from Nintendo, PlayStation(r)2 computer entertainment system and PSP(r) (PlayStation(r)Portable) system, and n-Space, Inc., is developing a version for Nintendo DS(tm). All will feature the same storyline, with opportunities to unleash the Force in devastating new ways. Working with Lucas Licensing, LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey, Prima Games, and Palace Press.
