Lucasartsgames tweets a clarification of the news that the Jedi Knight series of Star Wars first-person shooters (and slicers) is coming to Steam with a confirmation that this will include the entire series, saying simply: "What games from the Jedi Knight series? All of em!" In another Tweet they also indicate the series will be also coming to Direct2Drive when it is released next Wednesday.

All of 'em... the '97 original JK was always rated near top of any list of the best FPS-type games of all time.

Re: All Jedi Knight Games to Steam and D2D
Lucasarts announced last night that the Jedi Knight series of Star Wars shooters will be making their way to Steam next week.
Which is a slightly confusing statement. After all, Lucasarts' FPS Star Wars titles began in 1995 with Dark Forces, whose sequel, Jedi Knight, was Dark Forces II. Making it part of the Dark Forces series, not the Jedi Knight series, the name the games assumed when moving onto the later Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.
So I guess what we're trying to say is: we really hope Dark Forces is included, because it probably did the best job of the lot in really nailing the tone and "feel" of Star Wars.
UPDATE - Yup, it includes not just Dark Forces, but Jedi Knight's Mysteries of the Sith expansion as well.

I loved the original Dark Forces II...err Jedi Knight...although the series titles confused the hell out of. The original Dark Forces was like a CD ROM game.

Awesome. I'd love some Steam-based Star Wars: Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast multiplayer action.
