"LucasArts, longtime custodians of secrets pertaining to primate islands, have announced their intention to work with the timesplitting folks at Free Radical on a brand new game. Slated for next-generation consoles, the as yet undisclosed title will benefit from the combined efforts of two experienced studios. Peter Hirschmann of LucasArts labels the agreement as a good idea, since Free Radical 'has always been about titles with great gameplay and innovative design.' [Opposites attract quip here.]
With Raven Software spending most of their time reading comic books these days, it might not seem outlandish to suggest that the mystery game here could be a new entry in the Jedi Knight franchise -- to be more precise, Dark Forces 5: Jedi Knight 4: Jedi Outcast 3: Jedi Academy 2: Jedi Colon. Then again, it could be an entirely new IP. Just as well, since the only other idea we can muster is a first-person shooter starring a despondent Bobbin 'Are you my mother?' Threadbare."
Free Radical seperated from Rare (develops of GoldenEye, Perfect Dark) to make the well-recieved Timesplitter series. My guess is that their making a new first person shooter game or a Republic Commando sequel. I can remember hearing about an Imperial Commando game that was planned before Lucasarts downsized. This would seem to be the case with the recently annouced Lethal Alliance game which takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
I'm personally hoping for a new Jedi Knight game but this does not seem likey.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
