LucasArts Focusing Its Force at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo

Business Wire, May 11, 2004

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: Beginning approximately five years after the events of the first KOTOR(TM), Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords takes players on an entirely new journey as they assume the role of what is believed to be the last Jedi in the galaxy. The game features a cast of memorable returning characters and sinister new villains. Using more than 30 new Force powers, players can turn weak-minded enemies against one another in combat with "Force confusion" or see through doors and view character alignment with "Force sight." Assigned to protect the Old Republic and the Jedi Order from the terrifying Dark Lords of the Sith, players must explore and battle through seven diverse worlds while being challenged whether to choose the light side of the Force or surrender to the lure of the dark side. The Sith Lords will be released for the Xbox and PC in Winter 2005.

LucasArts will be showcasing its product lineup in Suite 153A/Concourse Hall in the Staples Convention Center by appointment only on May 12-13. The suite will be open to all show attendees on May 14 beginning at 12:30 p.m.
