Activision has announced new content for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.  This consists of an entire new single-player level.

Whilst watching Darth Vader jump around like Mario was a little disconcerting, it is undeniable that The Force Unleashed is one of the better Star Wars titles to grace a games platform since 1977.

Activision has released an entirely new mission that continues The Force Unleashed tale in a new “Infinities” storyline.

Here is what Activision says about the new single-player level : The mission begins at the end of the story of The Force Unleashed and re-imagines the Star Wars Saga as if the Secret Apprentice had killed Darth Vader and taken his place at the Emperor's side, becoming the most powerful Sith Lord in the universe. The story picks up as the Emperor sends his new apprentice to the planet Tatooine to dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi -- who has been hiding on the planet ever since the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.  During their hunt for the reclusive Jedi, players will also explore the depths of Jabba the Hutt's palace and encounter notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force and casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice," unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of a mysterious new character armed with unprecedented powers. Originally released in September 2008, the game quickly became the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever, and has since sold six million units worldwide.

 
The new level is now available for Xbox 360 on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and for PS3 owners on the PlayStation Network.
