Fracture Demo due on September 18

LucasArts promises to release a demo of its upcoming Fracture via the Xbox Live service from Microsoft and via the PlayStation Network from Sony on September 18. The move is designed to create awareness about the title in the gaming community and help build up hype for the release which is scheduled for October 7.

The game is published by LucasArts, which is also behind Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, with development duties handled by Day 1 Studios. Internal development at LucasArts is scheduled to stop sometime this fall, so the company is working hard to create some sustainable franchises until then.

The interactive teaser is an opportunity to "create cover, solve puzzles and revolutionize battlefield tactics," says LucasArts, shortly before reminding us that Fracture will dash onto the retail stage and break its metaphorical leg on October 7th in North America, and October 10th in Europe. Let's hope big "L" steps up the marketing campaign just a tad before then.
