Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2002, LucasArts is a leading publisher and developer of interactive entertainment for video game console systems and personal computers. The company was founded by filmmaker George Lucas to provide an interactive element to his vision of a state-of-the-art, multi-faceted entertainment company.
Since its inception in 1982, LucasArts has continually been heralded for its focus on creating rich, immersive worlds for players to discover. LucasArts games continually receive critical acclaim and attain commercial success, with the company's products often earning Game of the Year honors, including multiple awards from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.
Today, LucasArts continues to advance the art of game design, while still adhering to its original design philosophy: to create games that inspire, challenge and engage players. Consistent with Lucasfilm's movie heritage, each game combines vital film elements - compelling storytelling, painstaking character development and vivid settings - with interactivity or "gameplay," the element which distinguishes games from more traditional, linear mediums.
While the characters, settings and styles of games in the company's portfolio may be diverse, every game shares an attention to detail that has become the hallmark of LucasArts. The company prides itself on creating interactive journeys that succeed both as games and as stories. In turn, players feel like they are not only playing a game, but actually living the life of the game's hero – experiencing the character's triumphs, tragedies, and even moments of levity as can only be portrayed by the talented designers at LucasArts.
