LucasArts has confirmed that it will be bringing back last year's surprise hit in late 2006. LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy will be developed by Traveller's Tales and has been slated for release on seven platforms including PC.
The title will continue the comical take on the Sci-Fi franchise, covering the major sequences from all of the original movies. LEGO Star Wars II will bring vehicles and creatures for players to use and allow them to customize their own hero with a range of 50 characters to design.
"Whether it was your first gaming experience or you've played everything released since Pong, the first LEGO Star Wars was one of those rare video games that everyone enjoyed," said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. "With LEGO Star Wars II, LucasArts is working with TT Games and Traveller's Tales not only to set players loose through the original three chapters of the Star Wars Saga, but also to make this feel like the true sequel our fans have been clamoring for."
"TT Games is delighted to have formed a partnership with LucasArts for LEGO Star Wars II," said Tom Stone, managing director of TT Games. "The first game was an absolute joy to work on, and we're excited to deliver even more fun and creativity, this time with more features to work on and the original trilogy as the game's focus."
