LucasArts Has A Secret Game To Reveal At E3

Earlier this week LucasArts sent out invitations to the gaming press announcing that the studio will reveal an “unannounced game in development” at E3 next month. With no other information to go on, that short blurb was all it took to get my speculation juices flowing.

Without a doubt, the number one “unannounced” title that I would like to see from LucasArts would be the often rumored (and desperately wanted) Star Wars: Battlefront 3. Another blast from the past that would be great for us old-timer PC gamers would be a sequel to the much loved X-Wing vs Tie Fighter series.

Sadly, both those titles are not likely to be announced, which leaves us with one last very real possibility. Earlier this month a new Lucasfilm trademark popped up for Star Wars 1313, with one of the listed uses being video game software. Nothing else official is known about trademark, but “CT 1313″ was a name once used by a young Boba Fett in one of the prequel novels.

Anything is possible at this point, and we will know soon enough with E3 just around the corner. Let us know in the comments below what you best guess is for this unannounced LucasArts game.

IGN interviewed Rick McCallum about the 1313 rumor at the end of the interview and he just up and left. It would be awesome if it was BF3, lot of fans will go anti-Lucasarts if no news of BF3 at E3. I will wait until C6.

Dude, they recently announced that BF3 got cancelled.

LucasArts’ secret game is a Kinect (or at least Kinect supported) MMO game. Go to this link, which is E3′s exhibitors and products listing section for 2012 and includes a floor plan of E3 showing where all the exhibitors will be:

Then click on “SEARCH PRODUCTS”, then type Kinect in the “Product Search” box and hit enter, which will find all the Kinect products being shown at this year’s E3 that have been submitted so far and the companies that are showing them. (Not the names of those products though, just which category they’re in and how many there are. It’s an incomplete list though as some companies, such as Microsoft, EA, Activision and Ubisoft, haven’t submitted their info yet, other than where their booths will be.) Finally, click on “MMO” in the “Select a Product Sub-Category” menu and you’ll find 1 Kinect game from LucasArts listed.

LucasArts also have Kinect games listed under “Action”, “Adventure”, “Casual” and “Family” but some or maybe even all of those could be the same game that’s been submitted under multiple categories if it meets the criteria of those categories. I thought maybe it could be an Xbox 360 version of Star Wars: The Old Republic with Kinect support or Star Wars: Battlefront 3 but there’s no Kinect listing from LucasArts under “Role-Playing” or “Shooter”. :/

  Those might be 2 games though, an action adventure game with Kinect support and a Casual Kinect game. We just have to wait and see. Not to mention I don’t see a Boba Fett game being casual.

  Scratch that, your theory is bollocks. I toyed around and saw an Action/Adventure title from LucasArts on PS3 and PC as well. Nice one, pal, but you should have double checked

    LucasArts could be making more than 1 new game or it’s a muliplatform game. That doesn’t change the fact that LucasArts have Kinect listed under a number of categories.

Here’s a screenshot of the page that has LucasArts’ Kinect MMO listed, for those who can’t be bothered to go to the website:
