LucasArts has confirmed that iconic villain Darth Vader will be featured as a playable character in the forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

According to the company, Vader will be playable in the first level of the game, allowing players to take full advantage of the Sith Lord’s devastating force powers, before the action is handed over to his apprentice for the remainder of the game.

Star Wars: The Force unleashed is due out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii this September.

Stay tuned for further coverage in the coming months.

    @ BlueHarvest: Wtf?

    I can't wait for this game, being a huge Starwars fan and that I had/played every Starwars game to date. This game will rock with or without Multiplayer Phantasmn. Now, when your done with this game LucasArts, get cracking on Battlefront III =-]

    the only problem i have is Wii to?????? a game that is published on the ps3 and 360 cause atleast push the ps3 to some extent but on all 3 i think the wii would hold back both the ps3/360 in terms of graphics and the extent of the game thats the only thing thats holds me back from purchasing it might just have to gamefly it

    Knights was made by Bioware peoples, RPG makers.

    I agree with Emo-Mercenary in that they should start with making a Battle Front III after Force Unleashed, but also would like Bioware as it was mentioned that they were the builders of Knights of the Old Republic. I would like them to make another KOTOR. I believe it would be the third. :)

    I wonder if we still get the character customization in the game.  I hope so.
