Titled Star Wars 1313, the internally-developed third-person action adventure game will see players take on the role of a bounty hunter navigating a subterranean metropolis Level 1313, beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant.

While the game will make its formal debut at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), LucasArts announced the game is being development with the help of artists across the Lucasfilm organization, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound. The game will be based on the Unreal engine and feature full-body performance capture.

Star Wars 1313 will see players utilise "exotic" weapons in a bid to uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy beneath Coruscant. According to LucasArts, the game will emphasize fast-paced combat--the game's hero will use human skills and gadgets rather than supernatural Force powers. In addition, the game will feature a combination of cover-based combat, platforming and "playable cinematic gameplay".

"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit," LucasArts president Paul Meegan said in a statement.

No details have yet been given on platforms or release date.

'playable cinematic gameplay'

One would hope the gameplay would be playable, but in this day and age you just never know.

Can they announce the massive layoffs that will come soon after this game releases yet? Or do we need to wait for that?

(Not predicting quality; layoffs are what Lucas always does after a game.)

third-person action adventure game... fast-paced combat... the game's hero will use human skills and gadgets rather than supernatural Force powers.

Boba Fett: Arkham Asylum

That's the first thing that pops into my mind.

But I know the vague outline of a game that appears in my head based on that description is far better than this game will actually be.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Uncharted: Fett's Deception
 
Sounds like Uncharted in space.

It sounds like Dead Space without the horror and with platforming

Boba Fett: Arkham Asylum

That's the first thing that pops into my mind.

But I know the vague outline of a game that appears in my head based on that description is far better than this game will actually be.

Uncharted: Fett's Deception

Lol. What a jaded cynical bunch.

A cover-based third person shooter? Wonder what this was before they slapped the Star Wars license on it.

An blind dancing ho
. In addition, the game will feature a combination of cover-based combat, platforming and "playable cinematic gameplay".

So it's Heavy Rain with chest high walls shooting segments.
