Ahead of the E3<\/a> expo 2012, LucasArts<\/a> has revealed their latest Star Wars game, titled 1313.<\/p>\n

Star Wars 1313 is a third-person action-adventure which will revolve around the trials and tribulations of an intergalactic bounty hunter.<\/p>\n

The setting will apparently include a mega-city found on planet Coruscant. Players will delve into the subterranean workings of the metropolis to seek out Level 1313, a ruthless criminal organisation, and uncover a sinister conspiracy that runs deep within their ranks.<\/p>\n

Players won’t be using the Force however, and will rely on guile and an arsenal of “exotic” weapons. Gameplay mechanics include cover-based shooting, platforming, and “playable cinematic gameplay” (do I read ‘quick time events’?).<\/p>\n

With LucasArts at the helm, they are pooling their resources, bringing on-board Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation, and Skywalker Sound.<\/p>\n

LucasArts promises a “dark and mature world” for the game – so hopefully we won’t have any floppy-eared comic relief characters spoiling the fun.<\/p>\n

Technical details include the use of Unreal Engine technology, along with full motion capture performances.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to share one of the projects LucasArts has been hard at work developing,” said Paul Meegan<\/a>, President, LucasArts. “Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we’ve always known existed, but never had a chance to visit. We are committed to bringing the best gameplay experience and visual fidelity to life and I truly believe the work we are showcasing at E3 will speak for itself.”<\/p>\n
