[Your Name]

New, darker Star Wars franchise announced
-----------------------------------------
LucasArts has announced it is working on a new franchise set
in the Star Wars universe, called Star Wars: 1313.

The third-person action-adventure game is named for Level
1313, a ruthless criminal underground which dwells deep
below the surface of the planet of Coruscant.

Players will take control of a lethal bounty hunter and
navigate through a never-before-seen dark and mature world,
said the studio.

Exotic weaponry and conspiracies have both been promised,
however rather than using the Force, the protagonist will
use skills and gadgets to make his way through the world.

Star Wars: 1313 marks the first time LucasArts have
attempted integrated development of a game, using resources
from Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and
Skywalker Sound.

More information is expected at E3.


A trailer is will be released on Monday, 4 June (US time, which is Tuesday
here in New Zealand).
