LucasArts announced that its videogame Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be released on September 16, 2008 in the United States, September 17 in Southeast Asia and Australia, and September 19 in Europe.

An entirely new chapter in the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game’s expansive story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi – and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the first next-generation game developed internally at LucasArts, and will be available on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3.

As its name implies, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time together: Digital Molecular Matter, by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd.

LucasArts and developer Krome Studios are creating an equally enthralling version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PSP, and n-Space, Inc., is developing a version for Nintendo DS. All will feature the same storyline, with opportunities to unleash the Force in devastating new ways.

More information about the game can be found at the official website, www.theforceunleashed.com.

September! What am I going to do all summer? I've been waiting for this game ever since they announced the Wii would have motion sensing controls! :(

They've delayed this game a number of times. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It looks like an official announcement, so it should be released on that date. Then again, Nintendo said the same thing about Brawl. :p

I didn't finish my sentence. I meant to say I'm keeping my fingers crossed about it being good.
