Mysterious LucasArts Project Is Star Wars 1313

Mature-themed bounty hunter game to be revealed next week at E3.

No Caption Provided

There’s been idle speculation about the Star Wars 1313 trademark floating around for a few months now. Is that the name of the fabled TV show, perhaps a new movie? Nope, it’s a game, and hopefully this is Clint Hocking's project.

Star Wars 1313 will be at E3, and is described by LucasArts as a “mature” take on Star Wars (the website has an age-gate), with players exploring a location called Level 1313 as a “lethal bounty hunter.”

"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit,” said LucasArts president Paul Meegan in the announcement press release.

Are we looking at a Boba Fett adventure? LucasArts isn’t saying yet, but we should know more soon.

Maybe this is E3 2012’s Prey 2. No threats of encountering a guy named Tommy, either.

... but will it have Kinect support? Because if I can't stomp around shouting "BLASTER ON" and "XBOX KILL JEDI SCUM" then no deal. >=(

First time I'm interested in a star wars game in ages. Weird, it doesn't even sound that good, but I'm intrigued.

Most likely won't be anything special; just one of those games you consider buying, when you see it in the bargain bin, at your local game store.

A Star Wars game with allegedly "no force powers" (from GI's article), featuring a unknown character? Why bother.

I'm hoping this game makes me eat that snark and that it turns out to be something good.

last Star Wars game I remember playing without force powers was Republic Commando, arguably one of the best star wars games from the last 10 years, for me at least

@RedRoach: Outcast and Academy were both great games, but the other ones were kinda overrated. Battlefront especially, it just copied battlefield in a bad way.

I see LucasArts still can't get past making Star Wars games.

You know what I'd be interested in, as someone who feels like he's pretty much done with Star Wars?

A game without force users. Considering how relatively rare Jedi and Sith are supposed to be, I can't think of many games where they aren't front and center. (Tie fighter, X-Wing, Dark Forces - come to mind, though I'm not so sure about Dark Forces). And that's a bit weird.

It's been forever since I was interested in a Star Wars game, maybe this can change my mind.

@UKSamwise: Why did they left out this part in the movie? It would be a nice break from all the terrible things happening in that film.

I don't like Star Wars, but MOTHERFUCKER! That looked damn good! Was not expecting next gen, but that was next gen as fuck. Wonder if there will be an uglier version for current gen.

With the thing running on a high end PC, I think they might hold off for next gen.

I was expecting this game to be something I'd care about, but I was sadly mistaken. Sure it has some pretty stellar graphics, but other than that it looks like a generic third-person shooter so far.

Hopefully they'll show more than a whole ten seconds of gameplay during the show.

You lost me at "Star Wars". LucasArts was used to be much more.
