Microsoft: Star Wars Kinect, new Forza out next Christmas

Microsoft’s Kudo Tsunoda has revealed that we won’t get our hands on LucasArts’ Star Wars title for Kinect and the next Forza, featuring Kinect compatibility, until about a year’s time.

“We have a Kinect Star Wars game coming out for next holiday [Christmas 2011],” Tsunoda told BBC.

“I think you could just easily imagine being a Jedi and using Kinect to make you feel you’re part of a Star Wars experience, building yourself up into a Jedi.”

He added: “And another one next year is Forza, which is the best racing game of this generation of consoles… Those are the two games I’m most excited about.”

Kinect, Microsoft’s hands-free motion controller, is now available for Xbox 360.
