LucasArts today confirmed that the Xbox version of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, developed by Obsidian Entertainment Inc., is scheduled for a December 2004 release date

" We were hoping we could bring the Xbox platform into December but didn' t want to make the formal announcement until we knew an earlier ship date would not compromise the quality of The Sith Lords," says Producer Mike Gallo. " We recently completed a very important milestone which confirmed we can confidently do this."

Approximately five years after the events of the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Jedi, nearly brought to an end by the Sith, are on the brink of extinction. The galaxy is in turmoil and the Republic no longer has the strength to protect its worlds. Sith Assassins are hunting the one they believe to be the last of the Jedi, the one who holds the fate of the galaxy ... you. Bringing a new chapter to the Star Wars series, this sequel to the blockbuster RPG again delves into the saga' s founding lore that was explored in the original. The Sith Lords features an all-new, more perilous storyline, new characters, classes, locations and force powers.

The PC platform and international versions will launch in February 2005 as was originally announced
