LucasArts Officially Announces KOTOR II

Ares Halcyon writes "Today LucasArts officially announced Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the next chapter for 2003's award-winning Xbox/PC RPG. Set in the unique timeframe of the Old Republic, 4,000 years before Star Wars Episode I, KOTOR II: The Sith Lords features an all-new more perilous storyline, new character, classes, locations and force powers. As previously covered on Slashdot Games, the title is published by LucasArts and developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. and is planned to be released for the Xbox and PC in February 2005." There's also a first preview of the sequel over at GameSpot, noting gleefully: "The array of Jedi powers available to you will be broader--you'll now have more than 30 which will include force confusion and force sight."

Funny. I bought the game yesterday, and was cruising some KOTOR sites. If I hit 'back' in my browser window, immediately before the /. frontpage is the LucasArts official announcement of KOTOR II.

Really should have picked this up and waited for Deus Ex: IW. Live and learn.

OTOH, having just finished Icewind Dale, KOTOR is very, VERY obviously cut from the same cloth. With the same pattern. But with pinking shears instead of regular ones.
