Star Wars logo - Image 1If you sense a great disturbance in the force, then you've come to the right place. It's been months since we've picked up any info for Star Wars: Force Unleashed which is still under development at LucasArts, and this time, we find more details for this upcoming title. Read on for the list.

  1. The game time-line takes place between episode Star Wars Episode III and IV, with Darth Vader now training an apprentice he plots to use to destroy the Emperor. The player takes on the role of this said apprentice.
  2. As an apprentice, your task under Vader will be partly to help hunt down the remaining Jedi in the Galaxy - expect appearances from famed Jedi Masters like Shaak Ti.
  3. Force abilities are going to get some major balancing work. i.e. The "Repulsion" force ability take a few seconds to charge up, whereas the ever-famous "Force Push" gets a faster charge time.
  4. Rancors are in the game. And yes - they can eat you like they did that poor Gamorrean guard in Return of the Jedi.
  5. Vader is a playable character.
  6. There's a multiplayer mode on the works
  7. The game is set for a US release this November 2007.

1ST OF ALL no rpg elements, this game is 3rd person like MGS/Sam Fisher, 2ndly the tech video of this game is insane and 3dly, will be the best star wars game ever made

 » Yeah..

If it's even close to the tech demo they showed off, then it will be super bad ass...


Not sure who Shaak ti is, but if he was the one that got shot down in a fighter, then he coulda survived....same with the one that got shot on a speeder...

 » awesome!

I have done quite a bit of research, and it seems they have been able to make the graphics just as good as in the video, if not better. This game is going to rock! even George himself is going to play if not major, an important role in the creation of this game. He is the guy responsible for designing several of the characters that we meet in the game. And you finally get to play as a sith, I LOVE BEING EVIL:D (in games of course:P)
