UK developer Traveller’s Tales has announced that it is hard at work on a brand new instalment to its critically and commercially celebrated movie franchise, with Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga heading for PS3, 360, Wii and DS.

Combining both of the previous Lego Star Wars games and a host of new content, the game will include elements from all six of George Lucas’ epic movie instalments. Several new characters and new locations are promised, as well as the debut of online multiplayer – on PS3 and Xbox 360 at least.

MCV’s sister mag Develop also reports that the studio will take the chance to completely overhaul its DS conversion of Lego Star Wars II – which to date has been the only release in the series to receive significant criticism.

"As we usher in the next generation of video game consoles, LucasArts is leading the way in family entertainment," LucasArts president Jim Ward stated. "We're proud of the phenomenal success of Lego Star Wars II and how it delivered all the fun, humour and action of the original trilogy to the entire family.

“Now, with The Complete Saga, we're excited to finally offer the entire saga playable in one package for the first time ever."

The release date has yet to be confirmed.
