Lucasfilm & Bethesda Announce New Indiana Jones Video Game
We’ve got some exciting news for all you gamers out there!
Lucasfilm in conjunction with Bethesda games announced yesterday that a brand new Indy inspired video game is on its way! Though many details surrounding the project remain scarce, we do know that the project is being developed by award-winning studio MachineGames.
We also know that game will be executive produced by gaming industry legend Todd Howard. In a statement, Pete Hines, SVP of Global Marketing for Bethesda said, “Todd is a lifelong Indy fan, and has been trying for over a decade to make this game.” He continued, “He’s beyond excited to work with the award-winning MachineGames team, a perfect fit for Indy.”

We do know that the game will tell a wholly original, standalone tale set at the height of Indy’s career as a famed adventurer.
Some fan sights are already speculating as to what the content of the game will be. IGN published a piece suggesting that the setting is likely to be Vatican City as a map of the Sistine Chapel can be seen on the desk in the teaser.
IGN also points out that Bethesda will soon be owned by Microsoft so its not clear if this will be an XBOX exclusive or if it will be available across other platforms.
The Indiana Jones announcement comes in tandem with Lucasfilm Games unveiling a brand new logo. It will be used as the official identity for ALL gaming titles from Lucasfilm according to an official statement from the company. It should also be noted that an Indiana Jones film is expected to be released in 2022 at which time we may also see the game go live!
