Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Release Date Confirmed

108
Richard Walker

More bendy force powered Sith shenanigans are on the way later this year with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, which sees the return of the not so Secret Apprentice.

The official Force Unleashed II Facebook page pegs the North American release date as October 26th 2010.

For now the EU release date is shrouded in mystery like some sort of hooded Sith lord, but our Jedi mind powers point to three days later on the Friday.

That is all. May the force be with you, etc.

  • Day one purchase!
  • i have the 1st still havent played it i better hurry
  • Wiat, isn't he dead or are they following the dlc route, thats not goood because I like to play the good guy
  • I loved this game..but..sorry..Reach and Black ops have my money for that timeframe.
  • I still have to play the first, is it any good?
  • Wow, earlier than expected. Hopefully studio didn't rushed to get it out before C-Mas.
  • YES! defo must day one buy purchase i thinks. they choose the right day to announce this as it is star wars day May the 4th(be with you). Ha Ha!.
  • meh,hated the first.....where the fook is Battlefront 3,that's what we are all waiting for!!!
  • @5 first was good. Controls were iffy sometimes. If you're a SW fan, you'll LOVE it. Like me :-)
  • My Birthday!
  • What Star Wars really needs is another Battlefront, Jedi Knight and KOTOR.
  • My birthday too :D now all I need is to get the first one -_-
  • When I finished the first TFU game, I was hoping for another. Instant buy for me.
  • May The Fourth be with you! awesome Day one purchase!
  • not excited...
  • @3 Just wait for the game to come out and play it... @5 I don't know... Why don't you go try it? @6 A delay might happen? Usually does...
  • Day one buy for me, and personally I hope there is a Collectors Edition with some cool stuff. @MowatMan: I would say that it follows the "LightSide" ending as Starkiller isn't in his Vader style suite, which he needed to live in the "DarkSide" ending, and although he was suppost to be dead at the end of the "LightSide" it wouldn't be the first time the Emperor thought Starkiller was dead, and he wasn't.
  • i have now decided not to buy any games that dont have replay value. from now on its either extremely long and in depth games or games with good multi player. bought the first one and it was awesome but after i finished it i just sold it for like 5 dollars so thats kinda a waste.
  • For some reason I never got the first, probably could get it cheap now. Who else cannot wait for Star Wars Battlefront 3!
  • I thought the first one lacked something but then again i only played for a couple of hours. Might look into this or the first one sometime.
  • First was fun once you get past the junk planet the first time...hated that level. Hopefully they fix the jittery and frustrating jumping/sliding to your death in this one. He's a Jedi/Sith afterall!
  • Maybe announced because its May 4th?
  • this is great news, can't wait for this game the first 1 was brilliant
  • @22 That's doubtful why the hell would they do that lol!!
  • Loved the first, got all the achievements, then realized this had absolutely no replay value. This is a day one must rent.
  • Never finished the first, so I won't get this I think.
  • AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so geting this day 1 with all the pre-order stuff that Gamestop with have !
  • Definitely makes sense to release something like that today, since it is "Star Wars" Day. Nice! I agree with #21. Once you get past Kazdan Paratus, the rest of the game is fun again. He's just a beotch to fight. Oh - and ... May the 4th be with you!
  • Awesome I cant wait. First one was great. Hoping this one is even better. @ 24 You must not be a Star Wars fan or you would know what is important about May 4th.
  • The first game's story alone warranted a purchase. Day one buy for me!
  • I honestly didn't enjoy this game very much, I can't see myself buying this game new but if it gets better reviews than the first I'll consider picking it up.
  • I should have expected some star wars news on May the 4th of all days...it's starwars' favourite gag. I also like it as the clever naming of days reminds me of Sonic Two's-Day back in 92. I was pleasantly surprised by the first, maybe I'll stick it on the Xmas list.
  • Can't wait, loved the first, and this year is the best for games ever!!!!!
  • Didn't care too much for the 1st game. Let's hope they step up their game. Battlefront 3 would be perfect right now since the only way to play it online now is the PSP versions.
  • just checked out the website for the game..... looks like you will be trained by YODA !
  • @14 damn, you got there before me :P
  • @#1 agreed
  • that logo is kinda stupid looking.
  • Loved The first game but addiction star wars game was battlefront soo,this will be a rent or a used buy
  • sounds good !
  • How the hell are they making a sequel? SW:TFU bridged the time between episodes 3 and 4 in the saga (and even at that, only done it right with one of the possible endings) SPOILER** The apprentice died in that ending! so essentially, for there to be another game, we would have to be following the bad ending, which doesn't make sense in the entire saga....Only other option is a prequel.. try to make a sequel and I'll hunt down george lucas and slap his beardy chin!
  • @41 Amen to that! Force zombies anyone?
  • @42 Force Zombies? That'd kill star wars worse than midichlorians (worst idea ever). Loved the 1st one. Shame they had to make Kasdan a t**t to kill. I want a KOTOR3, but not online, or a battlefront 3. Either would be good.
  • I loved the first one, this is probably a day 1 purchase for me.
  • So fucking awesome. I hope it will fill the movie nicely again^^
  • The first one failed to get me hooked into the story, this one probably will do the same. Either way, i'm not going to buy unless its really good.
  • @24 May the Fourth be with you. Stars war fan here :)
  • Maybe this time they'll release it with less bugs.
  • i think its time to recommend the phantom menace and attack of the clones review by redlettermedia on youtube again!
  • Loved the first but... Meh hope its not updated to 1473.6 G... Gamescore were the hell is my hoth achievements!!! grrr at you lucasarts!!!! Xbox haters
  • Spoiler Alert.......... It follows the good ending....Star Killer has been cloned by Vader to continue his apprenticeship, but has lost his memory. Rumored locales include Camino (where Star Killer is cloned) and Dagobah (you can guess who he is trying to find there)
  • i played the first one not too long ago. the only good things about it was that it 1. Star wars themed and 2. they were relativly easy achievements. other than that it was terrible
  • Oh yes and how come starkilla is still alive!! he died in the first one!!
  • Hope this one gives you a light/side darkside choice system like they have in Kotor, Mass Effect, Fallout ect...I didn't like being forced into being a Jedi weenie. Also, Please for the love of all that is Sacred, atleast do some bug testing before release. First one was nearly unplayable due to wierd ass glitches. First one was fun when i was able to play it. Also playable vader this time for more than 1 level please???
  • online saber duels JK2 style please
  • I liked the first one, with a little work they could make the second much better.
  • So this is going up against Portal 2 on October 26th? And in between Reach and COD? I liked the first one but damn, they have high hopes to release it in that window. I think only the hardcore SW fans will buy it at launch. The rest of us will probably wait for a price drop.
  • Did not forget the DLC rip-off. Will not buy.
  • Wow really surprised that this is actually coming out this year. I am not sure if I will pick this up, too many other things I need to pick up around that time (Halo Reach Legendary, Fable 3, Natal, Medal of Honor). If I get it this year, more then likely it will be a Christmas gift.
  • Shiny. I loved the first one, I don't know what they're gonna do with the story though since the canon ended with Galen dead.
  • I don't see how this makes sense he died in the good ending and juno died in the bad ending and they're both returning
  • People really aren't going to buy a game because of its predecessor's "DLC rip-off" (AKA, not-so-exclusive Hoth, if I'm not mistaken)? Anyways. Jar'Kai for the win. I've been waiting for two-bladed Star Wars games for a while, KotOR aside. I'll be disappointed if you can't use two lightsabers, but I'll still pick it up day one. I just hope that they also consider a more light-side-dark-side, decision-based game รก la Mass Effect or KotOR.
  • Yeah seems like we have to "settle" for these games, while they are cool and it is star wars, what the fans really want is another KOTOR!!!! But a force unleashed game is going to sell to a wider demographic sooo this is what we get......................
  • It's a shame that a very shoddy game with a nice story sells well (warranting a sequel) because it has Star Wars in the title. If there were Battlefront and KOTOR games available on the 360, it would've been a spectacular flop. Lego Star Wars is by far the best Star Wars game on the 360, which is kind of sad.
  • already gonna pre-order no matter what pre order bonuses
  • well now theres 2 games that will beat COD in sales, this and Reach.
  • It's sad that instead of discussing the topic, trolls are taking this opportunity to whine about how it isn't KotOR III or another Battlefront game. It's almost as bad as people crying about how every Arcade game that comes out isn't Doom 2. Anyway, I liked the first one, but it felt like there was a ton of potential that simply wasn't cashed in on. Hopefully this isn't the same way.
  • @11...it's called "The Old Republic," a currently WiP MMORPG being made by the dudes that made KotOR I & II...and Mass Effect...
  • If the controls are as shitty as the first, count me out. They better have made Starkiller less ass ugly this time, too. The texture wash in that game was inexcusable, especially in the pre-rendered cut scenes.
  • Hopefully they'll step it up for this one. The first one was lackluster for a AAA Star Wars title.
  • The game wasn't smooth at all (The Original). Glitchy to the extreme. I hope that's been taken care of this time around.
  • TFU was a nice addition to the SW universe, hopefully this game will be better though because there is room for much improvement.
  • On my list of "Star Wars games to look forward to" this wasn't close! Granted I will still buy it/ rent it. But I would rather see Star Wars games in this order- 1) KOTOR 3 (Not the Old Republic!!! I want a regular game, not a MMORPG!!!) 2) Battlefront 3 3) Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy 2 4) New IP completely 5) KOTOR 4 6) Force Unleashed 2
  • I had a funny feeling that LucasArts would announce something today of all days. International Star Wars Day - May the 4th (be with you).
  • Day 1 purchase for me.
  • #73 That's a pretty nice list you have there, but Force Unleashed 2 is the only one confirmed. Then possibly a Battlefront 3. As for KOTOR 3, everyone who wanted Shenmue 3 isnt gonna get it ever!
  • BTW This MIGHT be a Natal, Move & Motion Plus title that may be the Lightsaber Game that we have always asked for. People never realise my words but i believe that soon we will be able to weld that virtual Lightsaber we've been asking for with the power of these new Motion machines.
  • may the 4th be with you!!! -Bruce
  • can't wait, TFU one of the best games of all time
  • @73 I'd buy you a beer! That is a great list I loved the KOTOR 1 + 2 and battlefronts's they are the movie games that didn't suck!
  • @73 agree completely, lol @ KOTOR 4 before TFU2, but it's true.
  • The first TFU was spectactular in my opinion as long as you looked past the glitches. Can't wait for this one!
  • Sweet! Can't wait for this, lets just hope they keep the DLC release a bit closer to the games release... not like a year after!
  • I still need to finish the first one, I got the Sith edition a couple months ago and have barely played it.
  • MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU! lol, get it, get it, get it.
  • @73 you switch Jedi Academy 2 with KOTOR 3 as the most desired and I would support your list completely.
  • i'm so pre-ordering this game
  • may the force be with you. lol
  • But why?
  • this, reach, new vegas....my wallet shalt suffer this year...
  • Is it only me who thinks the secret apprentice looks like sheldon from Big Bang Theroy? especialy in that picture.
  • I agree with #6, I hope they didn't rush it, this really seems to early. I'm still going to purchase this though.
  • noone should buy this on day one. they screwed ppl over with the sith edition. Ill wait till the price drops on this one.
  • loved the 1st game apart from the fact that when you put the difficulty setting up it becomes stupid. When i hit an enemy with a light saber, they should either be dismembered or dead. It shouldn't need 10 or more hits to kill, 1 or 2 at the most. Dont make the enemys stronger just have them more skilled or numerous a bit like ninja gaiden 2.
  • loved the first 1 cant wait 4 this 1 hope its abit harder then the first
  • lol at the "May" puns...
  • First game was great. October is too far away.
  • Excellent!! Wonder when it will be out in the U.K???
  • @ 41 - Yes it does bridge the gap between 3 and 4. However, 3 and 4 are almost a good 2 decades apart in the timeline. Main reason- after Episode 3, George Lucas specifically said that he's going to continue the inner workings of the story (most likely nothing considered "Sequel") during the saga, not after all in Video Games. Clone Wars aside, he's not making any more films but wants to keep the Star Wars Universe alive in gaming. Google it.
  • certainly getting it. the first one was great
  • i will def be getting this before the release date, i dont pre order many games but this one will definately be gonig on the list!
  • number 11 i agree with you, we also need some more Knight of the Old Republic story! :( that was like mass effect but as star wars!
  • Definatly a pre-order. I loved the first, but felt it was to short. Hopefully the 2nd will be longer.
  • The first game was alright
  • Love this!!! Can't wait for this to come out. The fact that they do the "Infinates" theme is simply awsome. The "what ifs" of the SW world. Going to be getting this day one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • If they sort out the controls from the first one then this could be good. The story in the first one was great.
  • This should be sweet!!!!! Would love a BattleFront game for the 360!!!
  • I'm excited for this one. i wonder if they'll drop the price for the first games dlc????
