Force Unleashed hits 7m sales

LucasArts’ third person action adventure Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has now sold 7m units worldwide, the publisher has confirmed to GameSpot.

The game was first released in September 2008 and shot straight to the top of the ELSPA GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40, enjoying the biggest ever release week for a Star Wars video game in the process.

In total the game sold 1.5m units in its first week alone.

Late last year LucasArts released an expanded version of the game dubbed Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – Ultimate Sith Edition which includes the original game and all the DLC that has since been released.

It also confirmed that it is working on a sequel to the game, which is due for release some time this year.
