LucasArts unveils 'Lego Star Wars III'
LucasArts has announced plans to publish a third multi-platform game in the Lego Star Wars franchise.

Titled Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, the game will be released on the Wii, DS, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360 and PC in autumn 2010.

Developed by Traveller's Tales, the new title will include all the characters from animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as well as other popular figures from the Star Wars saga.

Players can become a Jedi Knight or Separatist Fighter and make use of all-new character abilities, such as squad command, lightsaber slicing and long distance Jedi attacks.

The game will also feature an upgraded level builder facility enabling the creation of customised bases and battlefields for head-to-head combat.

"The Lego Star Wars franchise is a massive hit with fans, bringing in sales of over 20 million units worldwide," said LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez.

"We're thrilled to extend this experience to Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, delivering the humour and fun players expect from this award-winning franchise."

Last week, Warner Bros confirmed that Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 will be released in May for Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP and PC.
