This LucasArts Press
Release (thanks
Frans) has word of the completion of development of Star
Wars Battlefront, and that the PC, Xbox, and PS2 editions of Pandemic's Star
Wars action shooter are slated to be available on September 21, coinciding with
the release of the DVD editions of the first three Star Wars movies (there's a
countdown to release on the
Star Wars Battlefront
Website). Here's the story on the game:
Star Wars Battlefront is an
intense open-ended single player and multiplayer action game set in the Star
Wars universe that puts fans and gamers in the heat of the action as they
re-live all of the epic battles from the classic and prequel eras. In the game,
console and PC players can choose intense free-form multiplayer combat or a
variety of robust single player modes including “Historical Campaigns” and
“Galactic Conquest.”
