Star Wars: The Force Unleashed again in ‘10
In the words of the great Jedi Master Yoda: “Return, he shall!”
When word got out that a new Star Wars game was going to be announced at the 2009 VGA ceremony, force sensitive individuals felt that it was going to be a sequel to The Force Unleashed. After all, Lucas Arts’ 2008 action game caused massive disturbances to the Force after having sold 5.7 million copies as of February this year.
Due out in 2010, details of The Force Unleashed 2 are still thin, as there have been no platforms revealed. Surely the story will pickup after the events of the first game, which had players cast as the secret apprentice of the Sith Lord Darth Vader, Galen “Starkiller” Marek.
The canon ending of the game, listed on the official Star Wars site site has Marek turning sides and sacrificing himself to save the Rebel Alliance leadership.
However, it now appears that Marek is very much alive, as he appears front and center in the sequel’s trailer, which is viewable on YouTube. The former Sith now appears to be a Jedi, as he wields their distinctive blue light sabers to slay a towering, Rancor-eating monster. The trailer features voiceovers from both Darth Vader and Yoda talking to Marek, perhaps indicating that he will be torn between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force.
The official Force Unleashed 2 Web site www.unleashed2010.com, was teased at the end of the trailer. GameSpot will have more details on the game as they become available. For more on the original, check out the video review below.
