New Star Wars franchise to be announced next week

LucasArts plans to reveal an all-new Star Wars game franchise next week, which has apparently been in development for some time.

"I am blown away by both the caliber of the team on this project and their bold vision for this new 'Star Wars' title," Spike TV host Geoff Keighley said.

Spike TV apparently has the full story and will go public with the information next Thursday in its GTTV show.

"I can't wait to introduce our viewers to this game and show off the footage that left my jaw on the floor when I first saw it."

Details are scarce as to when it may be coming or what gaming platforms it will be available on, but let's hope the game is returning to LucasArt's glory days and can reach the same acclaimed calibre as Star Wars: Battlefront, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Republic Commando.

LucasArt's most recent video game release was Kinect Star Wars, which hasn't performed or sold well by most standards, and the BioWare-developed MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.

What sort of new Star Wars game do you think LucasArts will unveil? Are you interested? Tell us below.

Out of the three I mentioned in the article, I think KOTOR was the best use of the license. I could never decide if I liked Battlefront or Republic Commando better, but it doesn't matter because they were all so good and I'm left scratching my head as to why the quality of those titles didn't continue on, in sequels or anything.

considering that lucasarts caused the co-founder of free radical to have a nervous breakdown while they were developing battlefront 3, the series should stay dead and buried

same goes for lucasarts

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
