More recent titles that they've either published or developed in-house include ''Fracture'', ''[[Mercenaries]]: Playground of Destruction'' (note that its sequel, ''Mercenaries 2: World in Flames'' had its publishing rights given to [[Electronic Arts]] by developer Pandemic) and ''Star Wars: [[The Force Unleashed]]''. However, ''The Force Unleashed'' would prove to be the last in-house game developed by [[Lucas Arts]]; soon afterward, in the summer of 2008, the studio was disbanded, with [[Lucas Arts]] announcing that it would go back to its roots as strictly a title publisher.
