Bethesda Softworks and Lucasfilm Games will finally unveil the Indiana Jones game that MachineGames (Wolfenstein: The New Order) has been working on over the last few years in 2024. This is according to Todd Howard, who spoke to Esquire recently as part of a new interview regarding Starfield and teased that he would have a lot more to say about the mysterious game sometime “next year.” Howard did mention that he is a big Indiana Jones fan, suggesting that the game will be strictly focused on Harrison Ford’s iconic adventurer and how it’ll be an unique experience. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has made $382,254,133 worldwide since its release on June 30, 2023.
“I am a giant Indiana Jones fan. It can be brought to video games in a unique way,” Howard told the publication. “The game is obviously: you’re exploring stuff. It’s about him. So if you’re playing the game, how do you feel that you are indeed playing versus just watching?”
Raiders of the Lost Ark is Howard’s favorite Indy adventure. In 2009, he pitched Lucasfilm on an Indiana Jones game, which has always been on his bucket list. His first dog’s name was Indy, after all. It didn’t work out back then, but in the years since, Disney decided to back Howard’s initial idea. The game is being developed by Machine Games, a Swedish studio under the same company. They’re known for making Wolfenstein, which also involves fighting against Nazis. In other words, a natural fit.
