LucasArts announced today the renewal of its pan-European, Southeast Asia and Australian publishing and distribution agreement with Activision Publishing, Inc. Activision’s role in the distribution and marketing of LucasArts’ video game products will strengthen both companies’ solid market presence across the globe.

LucasArts and Activision are on the heels of celebrating some of their best accomplishments to date. Forging a new episode in the galaxy’s favorite saga, The Force Unleashed proved to be the best selling Star Wars game of all time, with over 5.7 million units sold worldwide. Also whipping their way up the charts last year were the smash hits LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, the LEGO Star Wars series and the popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars video games based on the hit animated television show. LucasArts and Activision are poised to continue this momentum with stellar brands for years to come starting with the highly anticipated Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings recently announced to ship in June 2009.
