New Star Wars RTS Coming

Reuters is reporting that Lucas Arts President Jim Ward has told them that a new Star Wars real-time strategy (RTS)title for the PC is on the way. Ward states The "Star Wars" brand will live long after the last "Star Wars" movie. We're taking "Star Wars" to the television medium, where we've already had great success with our Emmy-winning animated series on the Cartoon Network.


As a result, we will have new live-action and animated TV shows over the next few years, and I think there's a bright future there for games based on these new properties as well as original "Star Wars" games like a new real-time strategy PC game that Petroglyph is developing for next year. This game will take the (real-time strategy) genre in a new direction and will balance gameplay between the hard-core gamers who buy these games and the broader audience that's familiar with the "Star Wars" brand.
