Star Wars: Lethal Alliance (DS and PSP)

Ubisoft and LucasArts have partnered to create the next Star Wars game Star Wars: Lethal Alliance for the hand-held market.

The two companies have signed a long-term licensing partnership and their first title will be a Star Wars game for the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS.

Both hand-held versions are due out on December 6th, 2006. Gamasutra broke the news and stated that the story was going to involve...
"Lethal Alliance will feature an adventure that takes place between 'Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith' and 'Episode IV A New Hope', and will involve Twi’lek Rianna Saren of the Rebel Alliance, as well as her security droid sidekick, Zeeo, as they work together to infiltrate the Empire in order to uncover the secrets behind the Death Star." -- Gamasutra

The game is supposed to contain characters true to the films such as Coruscant and the legendary Darth Vadar. Many new characters will be created specifically for the game setting.

Multi-player? Yes. Lethal Alliance will have some type of multi-player, not all revealed at this point. They said that the multi-player will take advantage of both hand-helds capabilities and contain some type of collaborative gameplay.

“Ubisoft is honored to announce this exciting and innovative Star Wars game, the first original game in the legendary franchise built to take full advantage of the unique capabilities of both the PSP system and the DS,” said Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. “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.”
