Miami, Florida-based Intec Inc., a leading manufacturer of cross-platform video game accessories, has signed a deal with Lucasfilm Ltd. to produce controllers and other paraphernalia for the hugely successful Star Wars video game franchise.
Intec will develop a whole suite of specialized Star Wars-branded controllers, including wireless models, which will feature new technologies designed to enhance the gaming experience. The company will also work closely with Lucas Arts to design products for games to be released later this year, as well as 2005 titles including the much-anticipated Star Wars: Episode III game slated for release on May 5.
"Our Star Wars video games have been extremely well received by fans across the nation, from last year’s Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic to this month’s Star Wars Battlefront," says Mary Bihr, VP of global publishing for LucasArts. "This partnership with Intec will finally allow Star Wars fans the opportunity to experience the same high-quality in accessories as they have in our video games for years."
Intec will launch its first Star Wars-branded, high-performance video game controllers–one for PlayStation 2 and one for Xbox–in time for the holiday season.
