at launch
. Lucasfilm Games later confirmed that the game will also be released
for PC
. It is currently unclear whether the PC version will be launched at the same time. The
developers have not yet said a word
about
an edition for
Xbox
- but this will probably also come after a while. A release date for the remake has not yet been set anyway. The development is still at a very early stage.
BioWare, the developer studio of the original, is not responsible for the remake, but
Aspyr
.
The studio has already reissued other "Star Wars" classics, including "Republic Commandos", "Episode 1 Racer" and "Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy".
