LucasArts Working on New Vader Star Wars Game!

Jim Ward, President at LucasArts, had an interview with The New York Times today. A bit of new information was revealed, as well as an overall picture of how LucasArts works. It looks like the company wants to develop more games outside of the Star Wars franchise. With George Lucas not creating any more Star Wars title, there’s going to be a lack of ready-made titles for the making. The Indiana Jones game that will be coming up soon is an example of what LucasArts seems to be going towards.

However, the Star Wars comment at the end of the article is what might be most interesting. Haden Blackman, the project leader on an upcoming Star Wars game, has a storyline already set out to go deeper in the background of Darth Vader. Two paragraphs later, they talk about next-generation consoles and how they’ll likely be spending about $20 million on a game. A Darth Vader game for next-gen consoles? Seems likely. And please, LucasArts, give us a lightsabre game for the Revolution!
