Eidos,
one of the world's leading publishers and developers
of entertainment software, announces it has secured
the distribution rights to LEGO Star Wars with
Giant Interactive Entertainment Ltd for all countries
except Japan. The game will be released in April
2005 for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment
system, Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft,
PC and Game Boy(R) Advance.
LEGO
Star Wars combines two childhood favourites, LEGO
and Star Wars(R), to create an innovative and
exciting action-adventure title designed for young
gamers. The game is based on The Phantom Menace,
Attack of the Clones and the eagerly awaited Star
Wars(R): Episode III Revenge of the Sith(TM),
slated for worldwide release in May 2005.
Under
an agreement between LucasArts and Giant Interactive
Ltd, LEGO Star Wars is currently being developed
by Traveller's Tales for the PlayStation2, Xbox
and PC. Amaze Entertainment is developing the
Game Boy Advance version. Mike McGarvey, CEO of
Eidos says: "This signing of a title with such
wide spread appeal and recognition is a major
coup for Eidos. We look forward to working with
Giant on maximising the game's potential."
