Bethesda is one of the most beloved video game studios out there, and Indiana Jones remains an all-time adventure property. The pairing is a match made in heaven, and could finally provide gamers with another title to rival that of Uncharted and Tomb Raider.
A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, @MachineGames, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with @LucasfilmGames. It’ll be some time before we have more to reveal, but weโre very excited to share todayโs news!
