Ubisoft have announced details of a new Star Wars game for the DS. Star Wars: Lethal Alliance is set to be released in December, on both the DS and Sony's PSP. Although both games are being developed by Ubisoft, the two versions of the game will differ in many ways.

Gamespot state:

Although Lethal Alliance will appear on the DS and the PSP at the same time, the two versions weren't made by the same developer: Ubisoft's Montreal division handled the PSP game, while the publisher's Casablanca studio produced the DS version. Each game will be tailored to take advantage of its host system, but Ubisoft didn't say how.

Along with the story mode, there will be a mutliplayer feature too, although Ubisoft have not yet released details of this.

In an interview with Gamespot, Bertrand Helias (Senior Producer) stated that:

The game takes place just a few months before Episode IV. You will play a Twi'lek mercenary named Rianna Saren. The game marks her first appearance in the Star Wars universe. Early in the game, she is recruited by the alliance to infiltrate Empire-controlled planets and ultimately steal the plans of the Empire's most powerful weapon: the Death Star. I suggest gamers watch the beginning of Episode IV again to understand the link between this game and the saga.
