Video game publisher LucasArts has revealed its 'mature' spin on the Star Wars franchise: a brand new title called Star Wars 1313.

The third-person action game stars a bounty hunter working within an underground criminal outfit called Level 1313.

Instead of relying on Jedi powers, the bounty hunter will have access to a variety of gadgets and weapons to hunt down targets.

"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit," says Paul Meegan, president of LucasArts, in a statement.

LucasArts did not provide details on platforms or a release date. Expect more information at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
