Lucasarts has announced some additions to its latest Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed, which has taken off like the Millennium Falcon out of Mos Eisley. The downloadable content will be made available for 360 and PS3 owners at a later date.
The Force Unleashed will be receiving a new mission and several new character skins for four legendary Jedi. Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kit Fisto and Ki-Adi-Mundi will all be able to take the place of The Apprentice once owners download the DLC. A new level will also be available to explore.
The new level will be take place in the rubble of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where The Apprentice will travel to in an attempt to learn more about his slain father. The level will reportedly be smaller than the Raxis Prime level, but bigger than Cloud City.
The additional skins will be just that – no additional abilities or lightsaber techniques were announced. It was not said if players would play as the young, spritely, Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan or the old, sagely Sir Alec Guinness Obi-Wan, but the former seems more likely given its inclusion in the game already as a training simulation.
Writer Hayden Blackman said there were up to eight levels cut from the game. “We had a list of 20 locations in our exploration phase,” Blackman said. “Those got whittled down. Which ones were viable and which weren’t. The temple hung on and hung on and hung on. We had to make cuts right before production and it was one of those.”
There was no word on how much the DLC will cost, or when it will be released but given the screenshots of the skins and the fact that the level was apparently all-but finished, we’d wager soon.
