Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy interview

UGO interviews Graham Fuchs, Producer of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy to find out more about the sequel to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast:

UGO: Has anything been added to the multiplayer component in Jedi Academy? New modes, environments, powers?

GF:We've added two new modes, Siege and Power Duel. Siege is a team-based game in which players fight for objectives on a map. Players choose a class of character to play, each with their own weapons and abilities (such as technician, heavy weapons, or Jedi), then try to control of the map. In the Hoth map for instance, it's Imperials vs. Rebels for control of Echo base. Another map is light Jedi vs dark Jedi for control of a Jedi tomb.

Power Duel is an expansion on Duel mode, allowing players to fight in two-on-one lightsaber battles a la Darth Maul vs. Obi Wan and Qui Gon in Episode I. We've also added the character customization feature to multiplayer, so you can create your own Jedi to fight online with.
