The move to sack a hefty number of employees may be coming back to haunt publisher LucasArts. There’s been word that a disgruntled employee who lost his job is out for a little payback. Information about future releases have allegedly been leaked. Know more in the full article up next.

Following reports that confirmed LucasArts‘ move to sack a hefty number of employees, it’s apparent that at least one of the deposed has joined the “dark side”. He has done so by allegedly leaking information about the game maker’s upcoming projects.

In a post sighted over at Kotaku, it was stated that the site received an email with some information about Knights of the Old republic 3 and a non-Lego Indiana Jones game. The email supposedly came from a former employee of LucasArts who was really ticked after he got laid off following six years of service to the company.

The source said that KOTOR 3 will be an MMORPG which might be a joint effort between BioWare and LucasArts. A “real” Indiana Jones game is also said to be under development, while another Lego-themed one is being worked on.

In addition, the source stated that the Nintendo Wii might very well get a lightsaber game. No peripherals were hinted at, so don’t get your hopes up.

While this word is certainly interesting, we’d like to remind everyone to take it all with a grain of salt. We’ll update you when something more concrete comes out.
