According to LucasArts representatives, a new title in the impressively inconsistent Star Wars game series is underway, this time chronicling the happenings in Episode III

Slated for a release sometime next year, nothing in terms of actual game details have been released - though fans of the movies, long exploited with poor software, albeit interlaced with a smattering of gaming gold - will be hoping for something more than a quick buck cash-in.

Although gossip had sprung up as to the platforms the game will be housed upon, largely borne out of LucasArts' cryptic silence on the project, the firm confirmed that the game is in development for Xbox and PlayStation 2.

We'll find out more when the Star Wars Trilogy DVD Box set launches, which will include not only an Xbox demo of Star Wars: Battlefront, but also a 'Star Wars: Episode III - Making the Game' preview.
