LucasArts revealed (thanks Bojan) that they will be
releasing a PC and Mac version of 2008's best selling action game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in
a new "Ultimate Sith Edition". This new version will contain all of the
content of the original console game plus three DLC levels for
the title, including a Hoth level exclusive to the
package. The special edition will also make an appearance on
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with Aspyr Media handling the Mac/PC port.
The first of the three additional single-player missions
included in the Ultimate Sith Edition is set in the Jedi Temple on the
planet Coruscant. In this mission, Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice
turns to the Jedi Temple to learn more about his father, and while
searching through the rubble of the destroyed building he must confront
his inner demons.
The second extra mission continues the story of The Force Unleashed in
a new "Infinities" storyline that takes the Star Wars Saga in an
entirely new direction. The level begins at the end of the story of The
Force Unleashed and re-imagines the Star Wars Saga as if the Secret
Apprentice had taken Darth Vader's place at the Emperor's side,
becoming the most powerful Sith Lord in the universe. The story picks
up as the Emperor sends his new apprentice to Tatooine to dispatch
Obi-Wan Kenobi – who has been hiding on the planet ever since
the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. During their
hunt for the reclusive Jedi, players will also explore the depths of
Jabba the Hutt's palace and encounter notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett.
The final new level concludes the "Infinities" storyline set up in the
Tatooine mission, as the Secret Apprentice is sent to the planet Hoth
on a crusade to crush the Rebellion once and for all. While on Hoth,
players face Luke Skywalker himself while visiting iconic locations
seen in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
Additional added content includes new costumes for the Secret
Apprentice and new character models that allow gamers to play as one of
many legendary Star Wars characters including Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan
Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku, Jango Fett and C-3PO.
