Star Wars: Starfighter for the PC in January 2002

Today, LucasArts has announced it will release the flight action game Star Wars Starfighter for Windows PC in the U.S. and Canada, January 2002. The critically hailed title, originally available for PlayStation 2, engages players in a series of dramatic missions to save Naboo from the powerful and menacing Trade Federation.

Star Wars Starfighter takes players on an epic journey that begins on Naboo and continues through the climactic assault on a Droid Control Ship. The single-player game offers the same features and scope as the original PlayStation 2 title. It takes full advantage of the robust graphic capabilities of the PC and features more than 20 beautifully rendered 3D starships in 14 incredible environments set in air and space. Star Wars Starfighter for Windows PC will require a 3D accelerator card.

A special edition version of Star Wars Starfighter also will be available for Microsoft Xbox in the U.S., November 2001. Star Wars Starfighter is being adapted for Windows PC and Xbox by San Francisco-based Secret Level. Secret Level creates tools, technology and games for the interactive entertainment industry.
