New 'Indiana Jones' Video Game in the Works at Bethesda and Lucasfilm Games
Arriving with an original storyline.
Bethesda and Lucasfilm Games’ MachineGames have announced a brand new Indiana Jones adventure title.
Taking to Twitter to share the news, Bethesda revealed that the forthcoming video game will be executive produced by Todd Howard and will arrive with an original story. “It’ll be some time before we have more to reveal,” the publisher wrote, but did share a short teaser that featured books entitled Ancient Circles and Forbidden Stones, a brown leather notebook that could possibly be the Grail diary, maps, a passport, compass, typewriter and, of course, the namesake’s iconic fedora and whip.
The last Indiana Jones project that was actually released dates back to the 2008 film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. An untitled followup — the fifth overall film in the franchise — is set to release on July 29, 2022 after years in development hell and delay due to COVID-19. Harrison Ford will be reprising his role as the protagonist, while James Mangold will serve as director and Steven Spielberg as a producer.
Watch the teaser below and tuned for a full trailer and release date.
