LucasArts will showcase its new videogame Star Wars Battlefront II at Ziff Davis Media's DigitalLife event in October of this year.
Thousands of gamers and consumers are expected to attend the three-day DigitalLife event, which will be held October 14-16, 2005, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
As part of the celebration, DigitalLife will hold a nationwide tournament for Star Wars Battlefront II with qualifiers in four major cities across the United States. Gamers will compete in teams for
the chance to be crowned the ultimate Star Wars Battlefront II champion and win a prize of $10,000. Additional details about the tournament will be coming soon.
Star Wars Battlefront II will hit retail outlets nationwide on November 1st, day and date with the release of the DVD for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, making November 1st a banner day for Star Wars fans.
Star Wars Battlefront II takes one Imperial-walker step forward with all-new space combat, playable Jedi, and never-before-seen environments straight out of the Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith film. Fans of the original Star Wars Battlefront will also enjoy an all-new single-player experience that takes players through an epic, story-based saga centering on Darth Vader's elite 501st Legion of stormtroopers where every action the player takes impacts the battlefront and, ultimately, the fate of the Star Wars galaxy.
"Gaming was so popular at last year's DigitalLife that we're expanding the show by fifty percent this year just to accommodate the demand for videogames," said Scott McCarthy, President, Ziff Davis Media Game Group. "We're thrilled that LucasArts has chosen DigitalLife as a key marketing initiative for Star Wars Battlefront II - with the influx of gamers and press at the show this year, the launch should generate some great buzz for LucasArts."
