New Star Wars franchise to be unveiled next week

LucasArts to reveal "bold vision".

A brand new Star Wars game franchise is currently in the works at LucasArts and will be unveiled next week.

Spike TV has the scoop and plans to go public with more information next Thursday in its GTTV show.

"I am blown away by both the caliber of the team on this project and their bold vision for this new 'Star Wars' title," teased Spike host Geoff Keighley.

"I can't wait to introduce our viewers to this game and show off the footage that left my jaw on the floor when I first saw it."

There's no word on what platforms it's coming to or when it might see release.

The brand's most recent video game outing was the underwhelming Kinect Star Wars on Xbox 360 earlier this year. BioWare's MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic launched last December to solid reviews but subscriber numbers have recently been falling.
