A few new details have been released concerning the much anticipated Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. While the next installment of the acclaimed Xbox RPG will utilize the same battle system as the original, there will be some minor improvements to help ease game play. Quick Key Slots have been add to help streamline the cumbersome weapon switching that previously made using anything other than a lightsaber impractical. In addition to the battle system adjustments, four new Force Powers have been added. Force Clairevoyance allows players to see distant place, and Force Sight will give players the ability to see thru walls and people's souls. The other two have yet to be identified.

There will also be content available through Xbox Live such as custom menus; however there will not be any multiplayer either on or offline. The tentative release date for North America is February of 2005.
