In a surprise move today, LucasArts has officially announced that The Force Unleashed will appear on the Nintendo Wii in Spring of 2008. The Wii version is to be developed by Australia’s Krome Studios, a successful independent developer who was already developing the PSP and PS2 versions of the game.
Players will wield the Wii remote as a lightsaber while controlling force powers with the nunchuck. An exclusive duel mode will also be available on the Wii version, allowing players to clash head-to-head in epic lightsaber battles.
“Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console’s motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life,” said Jim Ward, the president of LucasArts. “We’ve worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force.”
