"Star Wars Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II" is coming to the PC. The game is due in the Spring of 2002.
In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Jedi Knight, rebel agent Kyle Katarn returns in exhilarating first-person action. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged his father's death and saved the Valley of the Jedi from Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi. Allowing his Force powers to languish for fear of falling to the dark side, Kyle entrusted his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, vowing never to use it again. But when a new and menacing threat to the galaxy emerges, Kyle knows he must reclaim his past in order to save his future. Jedi Outcast is being developed in partnership with Activision's critically acclaimed devloper Raven Software. Players assume the role of Kyle as they employ a unique mix of weapons, Force powers and your lightsaber in both single- and multiplayer modes.
The game will use a modified version of the lauded QUAKE III Arena engine, allowing for a multitude of enhancements such as more highly detailed graphics and a greater sense of overall scale. LucasArts will assist in the game's development with Raven, with expertise contributed by members of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II team.
"Given the strength of the QUAKE III Arena engine and Raven's widely recognized expertise in action games, Star Wars Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II will be a very worthy successor to one of gaming's benchmark titles," says Simon Etchells, LucasArts' global marketing manager for Star Wars Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II. "Simply put, this title will blow gamers away."
