More Back Catalog Games Coming Soon
By Jeff at 6:30pm on August 7th, 2009 | 4 Comments
Once again by way of the @lucasartsgames twitter account, LucasArts is teasing us with the announcement of an upcoming announcement.
“Got a back-catalog announcement on Monday. It’s not X-Wing! I’m heading THAT rumor off at the pass!”
After quite a bit of guesswork by fans, they give us an update:
“It’s not tie fighter either. Geez guys. Be more inventive!”
And lastly:
“Last hint: of all the responses, only one right guess. Poor guy doesn’t even know he got it right.”
What could it be? We will see come Monday!

Well he’s excited of course! In an interview with members of the Star Wars: The Old Republic development team, they were asked about George’s feelings on the game.
“Well, I think George is pretty excited. He’s obviously been enthusiastic and supportive of what we’re doing. I am sure he knows it’s a daunting task—and we are all doing our best to deliver for him. Everyone wants to make George proud,” said Producer Jake Neri.
