As promised, LucasArts has announced a new Star Wars game franchise, the oddly-titled Star Wars 1313. There are few details ahead of the game's formal unveiling at E3 next week, but it's to be an internally developed game and will see you playing the role of a bounty hunter on Coruscant during the original trilogy time period.
The game is described as a 'third person cinematic action adventure game' that takes part in a 'dark and mature world'. The official website is live but features nothing but a quick teaser intro.
The name comes from Level 1313, a criminal underground below the surface of the capital planet. As far as we can tell this is something invented purely for the game, but a quick scour on the Star Wars fan wiki reveals that CT-1313 is an alias once used by Boba Fett in a young reader novel.
'The game puts players in control of a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy. Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than supernatural Force powers, to make his way through this dangerous world,' reads the press release.
Although this will be LucasArts' first internally developed game since 2010's The Force Unleashed II the game will benefit from 'an integrated development approach by bringing together great artists across the Lucasfilm organisation, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound.'
No formats have been announced and there's no hint of a release date, but we've already booked an appointment to see the game next Wednesday in L.A.

In an extensive interview with the New York Times to mark the arrival in US cinemas of second world war drama Red Tails, his long-gestating passion project, Lucas promised to make no new Star Wars films, citing negative reaction from fans of the series to his recent efforts.
The 67-year-old film-maker refused to apologise for making changes to his original Star Wars films through the addition of computer-generated imagery which many fans of the movies felt jarred with the more naturalistic look of the trilogy.
"On the internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I'm saying: 'Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.'"
"Why would I make any more," Lucas says, "when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?"
And the reason the minor factions don't build past level one stations is they don't have them available, and they don't build ground structures for the same reason. It causes strange crash errors if they do get them.Is that because the game counts them as Pirates? So they would only have the Pirate Asteroid Base (one level), and the Pirate Command Center (which has its own map marker)?
Disra:So the Preybirds are buildable as independent squadrons, rather than just being ship compliments like the TIEs?
Galactic. Price reduction, Preybird production, build speed bonus.
