Additional Content Coming to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed!

LucasArts today announced that it is preparing two rounds of additional content for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed this Fall. This new content will be available for Xbox 360 owners through Xbox Live Marketplace and for PlayStation 3 owners through the PlayStation Network.

The first piece of downloadable content will be comprised of additional costumes and character models that can used while playing through the single-player campaign, including Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Kit Fisto.

The second round of downloadable content, due later this year, will feature an entirely new single-player mission, set in the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant. Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice turns to the Jedi Temple to learn more about his father, and while searching through the rubble of the destroyed building he must confront his inner demons

In other gaming news... word on the street was that we were going to start seeing the Wii lightsaber attachment in the USA (finally) today, but alas, they are still nowhere to be found as far as I can tell. If you've found them anywhere, please let us know!

Some major retailers had several different brands of lightsaber attachments for the Wii remote listed as coming soon and available for September 30th. I looked today, and said products were either temporarily out of stock or on backorder. Hmmmm.

Nintendo had held back from endorsing the lightsaber attachment, apparently for fear that users could injure themselves. I wonder how this could be any more dangerous than the Wii controllers themselves and the way they are used as well as other attachments - ? Even so, the Wii lightsaber has been available in the UK. I guess the Brits are tuff' nuff

Perhaps they tried to jump the gun to get some of these out for The Force Unleashed. I'm sure they will be more widely available by the time The Clone Wars Nintendo exclusive comes out later this year.
