LucasArts Reveals Another! 01 Feb, 2002 / Comments: 4


Another collaboration with an outside studio has been announced. This time Planetmoon, creators of Giants: Citizen Kabuto, have been chosen to create a "Game to Complement LucasArts' Celebrated Legacy of Humor", a unique humorous action game for next generation consoles.
Planet Moon's game for LucasArts will follow in the rich tradition of wry humor and intelligently crafted play style of the company's classic titles. The game is expected to release in 2003.

"With Planet Moon's development of a unique humorous action game for LucasArts now madly underway, I suspect the pubs around its Sausalito, Calif., headquarters may be in for some tough economic times," says Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts. "In seriousness, a relationship with Planet Moon is an obvious choice for LucasArts. It's one that will complement the brand of humor for which we're well known and bring to our fans the kind of game they've always loved."

This we can only assume is an adventure game disguised with some action elements, something I think we are about to see a good deal of over the coming years. No screenshots have been released but LEC put up this tiny teaser in their sidebar. Update: Oops, that character is from Giants: Citizen Kabuto. Carry on :)

    I'd just like to point out that the little teaser pic is actually of a character from Planet Moon's game 'Giants: Citizen Kabuto,' in case anybody wasn't aware.

    I had a feeling it was either something from a previous game or a company logo. Or something.

    Kind of sad that LEC has to outsource even the non-Star Wars titles these days.

    Yeah... hopefully this means they've got so many games in development in-house right now they need help :)
