LucasArts sends along a Press Release announcing new DLC for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and also announces, Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition, for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

LucasArts today announced that their hit videogame Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will see further expansion this Fall through a new downloadable level for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system. In addition, the company also announced Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition, a special new version of the game for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, that will show gamers the deepest, darkest side of the Force in a story that puts them on a collision course with Luke Skywalker himself. Available this holiday season at retail stores, The Ultimate Sith Edition will include all of the original missions found in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed as well as content previously only available via download and an all-new exclusive bonus level*.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force and casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice,” unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of a mysterious new character armed with unprecedented powers. Originally released in September 2008, the game quickly became the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever, and has since sold six million units worldwide.

About the Tatooine Downloadable Content for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Available this Fall via direct download from the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network and the PlayStation Network, this new downloadable mission continues the story of The Force Unleashed in a new “Infinities” storyline that takes the Star Wars Saga in an entirely new and unexpected direction.

The mission begins at the end of the story of The Force Unleashed and re-imagines the Star Wars Saga as if the Secret Apprentice had killed Darth Vader and taken his place at the Emperor’s side, becoming the most powerful Sith Lord in the universe. The story picks up as the Emperor sends his new apprentice to the planet Tatooine to dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi - who has been hiding on the planet ever since the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. During their hunt for the reclusive Jedi, players will also explore the depths of Jabba the Hutt’s palace and encounter notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett.

About Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition

Due to be released in retail stores this holiday season for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition combines the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed videogame and three new levels to create the definitive ultimate-evil storyline of the events that occurred between the two classic Star Wars movie trilogies*.

The additional content includes two levels set on Coruscant and Tatooine previously only available via direct download, and an all-new exclusive level available only in the Ultimate Sith Edition package.

The exclusive level concludes the “Infinities” storyline set up in the Tatooine mission, as the Secret Apprentice is sent to the planet Hoth on a crusade to crush the Rebellion once and for all. While on Hoth, players face Luke Skywalker himself while visiting iconic locations seen in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.

This looks pretty cool. I skipped out on TFU the first time around, so I might pick this up.

[Valkyrist]

Ok I'm confused.

I see nothing in the quoted text saying anything about a PC version. Just 360 and PS3.

Either for my PC or PS3, if it is only $30 I will definitely go pick it up. I never got around to buying the original.

You know, you are right. I don't see anything anywhere about a PC version. I saw another site mention a PC version and I clipped the Press Release out of my in-box without reading it. Next time I'll read my own mail. :o

The game is a hell of a lot of fun. I find it strange that a lot of its criticism seems to be ignored when it appears in other, more celebrated games. It's problems aren't anything new, just people targeted this one game for some reason.

It's really cool they are screwing earlier purchasers by including an exclusive campaign in this version.

There were earlier purchasers?

[Syl]

The game never had a PC version, if SwTFU had a PC version, i would have owned it by now.

Now i think i'll just wait for this version.

I've got the demo on my PS3, but between other games and the luke-warm reviews, I just never got around to buying it. For some reason, I just seem to have a really hard time buying a $60 game unless I REALLY want it.

Oh that's fine, I can still just pick it up on the PS3. It is confirmed to only be $30 though? Cause for that price, you're absolutely right that it's a good deal.

I wonder what has happened with Cameron Suey

$4000 PC to play a game done in PS2? Yeah that's something.

According to Bigdownload, it's being released on PC and Mac, and co-published by Aspyr.

The first DLC for TFU is the XBL deal of the week 50% off.

[Bneezy]

I'm still pissed that after buying all of the DLC I still couldn't play as Darth Maul (w/Double Lightsaber), Darth Vader, or the Emporer. I also hate that all of the costumes use the reverse grip on the Lightsaber. Loved the game, though. I really don't see where all of the criticism is coming from.

[Earth Djinn]

I never got around to buying this, though I always intended to.

Ive been getting closer and closer to buying it these last few weeks, but thankfully I can now hold off and get this version of it.
