At the same time, it is critical for publishers to maintain a focus on delivering AAA quality games experiences across the board. Despite the pressures of the tough economic climate, E3 is the venue for our industry to stand up and show off stellar products that continue to push our industry forward through the creative talent and continued investment to prove it.

Working with world class talent to create great stories with memorable characters is the backbone of every project coming out of all Lucas companies. This year, we’ll be showcasing a number of products that follow this vision including Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Star Wars: The Old Republic."
