Well, here we have it Battlefrontians. LucasArts has announced their new franchise last night on GTTV (via Spike TV) as Star Wars: 1313. Although not much information has been released about Star Wars: 1313, the synopsis definitely shows some promise.
Named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant, the game puts players in control of a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy. Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than supernatural Force powers, to make his way through this dangerous world.
This isn’t the game I was hoping for, but it sounds like it could be pretty good, and hopefully it will be something that will hold us over until they give us Battlefront 3.
Here is the video from GTTV:

LucasArts announces Star Wars: 1313,
Looks like it will play like the Force Unleashed. …. hooray.
WHATS WITH THE STUPID MATURE RATING????? IVE ALWAYS LIKE STAR WARS BECAUSE IT WAS CLEAN AND ALL….. BUT NOW THIS????? I HAVE MY DOUBTS!
it probably just means its not some dumb star wars kinect or lego starwars or force unleashed. probably more like bounty hunter ,battlefront, kotor, and republic cammandor
Well I definitely hope so….. Ive been a faithful Star Wars fan for many years, I just want a fun game that isn’t impossible like TFU series and makes sense.
if you thought TFU 1&2 were hard you mustve been pretty bad…
The Force unleashed was rated M.
Reminds me of Bounty Hunter. At least it’s not a Kinect MMO.
I’m so excited. I all most had a heart attack that it was not a game for kids.
dude, that’s the good thing about star wars it doesn’t focus on all the stupid crap that makes other games “good”.
Fans: “We want Battlefront 3!”
LA: “We know you all want Battlefront 3,so here’s Star Wars 1313…enjoy.”
or you could put it this way
Fans: “We want Cake!”
LA:”We know you want Cake, so here is a cupcake no icing… enjoy.”
With this being a new franchise and all, I don’t really see them coming out with Battlefront III for a while. That’s a shame too, because they’d probably make more money one that than this new IP.
P.S. Some Technical Estimates:
- Runs on Unreal Engine 3 (since LA licensed 5 of those)
- Will be available for the entire Trinity – PC, PS3, Xbox 360. Probably on Handhelds too, judging from LA’s past with Multi-Platform Games.
- Is probably due some point early 2013, as the Fall Lineup seems to be pretty much set. Probably sometime around when Crysis 3 is expected.
If this game was come to the 3DS I would buy it maybe but I actually want Battlefront 3.
Looks like this might be a mix of Star Wars with either Mass Effect or Arkham City. Maybe even both. Definitely a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Bounty Hunter I bet. Since they haven’t said its Fett or Fett, I wonder if the Bounty Hunter is someone else this time however…. O.o
And wow, way to Troll us with the 1313 there LucasArts
We all connected it to C-1313 while you guys named this new Area 1313 instead. LOL. I wonder if that’s where Fett got C-1313 from…. O.o
Anyway, its not Battlefront 3, Battlefront 2 HD (oops) or anything Battlefront, but it looks interesting. Lets see if the LucasArts Development Team will make another Winner, or another Failure.
Man I really don’t mind new IPs, but come on now!! Seems like the only hope we have is that they haven’t outright said that Battlefronts 3 is canceled. LA could at least make a HD collection of 1&2 to hold us over!
