LucasArts Entertainment has announced that it has resumed its relationship with Lawrence Holland and his game development company, Totally Games, to develop a World War II flight combat game for the PC and console systems. Previous partnerships between the companies resulted in the popular X-Wing and TIE Fighter Star Wars games, as well as the World War II flight combat games Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain.

　　The new game, scheduled for release in 2003, will let players assume the role of an elite pilot on a series of secret missions.

　　"Lawrence Holland single-handedly defined the fun, accessible flight action genre with his groundbreaking trilogy of World War II air combat games," said Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts. "Adding the sophisticated storytelling style Holland developed for the award-winning X-Wing series, this new game promises exhilarating gameplay with a rip-roaring story of adventure and intrigue. The legions of fans who have been clamoring for a new game in the vein of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe should be very happy with this announcement."

　　We'll post more information about the upcoming game as it becomes available.
