We Ain't Done Unleashing The Force Just Yet



 

Kotaku
has an interview up with Hayden Blackman, the executive producer of The Force Unleashed, in which he discusses some great news about downloadable content for the game.  Coming out before the end of this year, a new campaign level and new unlockable characters will be released for the X-box 360 and PS3 version of the game.  The new characters will be Luke Slywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Kit Fisto.

 
Due out later this year, the new single-player mission is set in the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant. Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice travels to the temple to learn more about his father, and while searching through the rubble of the destroyed building he confronts his inner demons.

 

And that's not all.  Blackman also hinted that this won't be the only new content that the game may feature.  There could be more, maybe a lot more.

 
And Blackman said it's entirely possible that the internal development team working on this new DLC will continue to work on new episodes, that The Force Unleashed could essentially become a delivery system for episodic content.

 

"We brainstormed a ton of locations," he said. "There's easily another two dozen we could make into levels. This is a good way to continue the story."

 

"I wouldn't rule out any future content on The Force Unleashed."

 

 

Hot damn!!!  New levels and a fuller fleshing out of the story would be a welcome thing indeed.  I would love to see regular downloadable updates for this game.  I just hope they don't cost an arm and a leg when they come out.
