LucasArts is lining up what it says will be its biggest licensing programme for a video game when it releases a range of toys, books and more on the back of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
The title, due out on September 19 on PSP, Wii, DS, PS3, PS2 and Xbox 360, will spawn a range of merchandise similar to that seen with the Star Wars movies.
Product lead Haden Blackman said: "This is basically the biggest licensing programme we’ve seen for a Star Wars game in recent memory, and we’re doing a chunk of products that you’d normally see for a film release.
"There’s a novel based on the story of the game, a comic book adaptation that looks at different characters’ point of view, and a really gorgeous 'Making Of' book featuring a ton of never-before-seen concept art.
