INTRODUCTION
Get ready, Star Wars fans, for the saga’s new thrilling episode, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, slated for release this November. In this spectacular LucasArts creation, players are thrown into the shoes of Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice, tasked with unveiling new secrets about the Star Wars galaxy. The engaging narrative, penned under the watchful eye of George Lucas himself, situates players in the relatively uncharted period between Star Wars: Episode III, Revenge of the Sith, and Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope. Here, they find themselves aiding the legendary villain in his quest to exterminate Jedi, all while making decisions that could forever alter their destiny.
A BRIDGE BETWEEN TWO GALACTIC ERAS
Players plunge headfirst into the largely unknown era between Episodes III and IV as the Secret Apprentice of Darth Vader, the notorious Sith Lord. In this dark era, they embark on a chilling hunt for the surviving Jedi, fulfilling the sinister objective of their enigmatic master.
HONE YOUR FORCE SKILLS
With Force as their ally, players get to enhance the Secret Apprentice’s primary Force powers: Force push, grip, repulse, and lightning. As they navigate through the game, these powers can be progressively upgraded and, more excitingly, merged to unleash spectacular, never-seen-before combos.
BEYOND THE CONVENTIONAL USE OF FORCE
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed introduces the Force’s unseen possibilities, pushing its conventional use to the boundaries. The Secret Apprentice isn’t confined to just going enemies into walls. He crushes them through the walls. And it’s not about merely gripping foes to hurl them aside. It’s about suspending them mid-air, shocking them with lightning bolts, and then plummeting them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
ENCOUNTER FAMILIAR AND NEW ADVERSARIES
The game offers an array of adversaries, including newly-created ones such as the fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians. But it doesn’t stop there. Players also cross paths with well-known characters from the Star Wars movies, allowing them to confront or ally with the infamous Darth Vader.
EXPLORE ICONIC STAR WARS LOCATIONS
Players embark on this epic journey through iconic Star Wars locales, from the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk seen in Episode III, the botanical Felucia, to the scrap planet Raxus Prime. Also on the itinerary is an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility, adding another layer of excitement to the exploration.
SHAPE YOUR OWN STAR WARS SAGA
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed lets players impact the storyline significantly, introducing a path-determining feature. Their choices at various points in the game result in different endings, allowing them to shake up the Star Wars continuity as they’ve always known it. This provides a unique sense of control and adds replayability, ensuring every playthrough feels fresh and exciting experience.
