TFUII UK date pinned down

Demo out next week.

LucasArts' action game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II will be released in the UK on 29th October, Activision's announced.

The demo will launch on 12th October on Xbox Live and 13th October on PlayStation Network.

It features Starkiller attempting to escape a facility on the planet Kamino. Expect plenty of lightsaber action, smashed up robots and Force powers.

Reports of internal strife have dogged The Force Unleashed II in recent months.

First we heard reports that LucasArts had allegedly cancelled unannounced sequel The Force Unleashed III, although more up to date reports suggest it's back on.

Earlier, the PSP version of TFUII was cancelled without explanation and, in July, TFUII creative director Haden Blackman left LucasArts mid-project after 13 years with the studio.

Keza MacDonald went hands-on for Eurogamer in August.
