Ubisoft announced an all-new action-adventure game titled Star Wars: Lethal Alliance for PSP & DS.
Lethal Alliance, the first original Star Wars game for handhelds, is made possible under a long-term licensing agreement between Ubisoft and LucasArts. Ubisoft’s Montreal is working on the PSP version and Casablanca Studios is developing the game for the DS. Both will be released December 2006.
The game is set between the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. Players can embody heroine Twi’Lek Rianna Saren and her security droid Zeeo who are hired by the Rebel Alliance to infiltrate the Evil Empire and uncover the secret behind rumors of a moon-shaped mega-weapon. What could it be?
“We have worked closely with LucasArts to create a game that further develops the Star Wars universe, and unveils some of the mysteries that have kept millions of fans enthralled for decades,” said a representative from Ubisoft, who also confirmed Star Wars regulars Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Kyle Katarn, and many Stormtroopers will be in the game.
Neither versions will be playable online. However, the DS version supports up to four person multiplayer via local Wi-fi and the PSP version has one-on-one multiplayer if both players have the game.
