With the release of Starfield from Bethesda Game Studios, Todd Howard will have time to work on the story of the hat-wearing treasure hunter, while time should slowly be spent on The Elder Scrolls VI, too.

It’s been two and a half years since it was announced that Wolfenstein’s MachineGames and the resurrected LucasFilm Games would create an Indiana Jones game. However, a lot of time has passed since January 2021. Starfield has been released after several postponements, and Todd Howard will have to work on this project as he will be its executive producer. In an interview with Esquire, Howard revealed a few details about the game. Not a lot, but enough to give us at least a starting point to get an idea of what to expect.

Howard considers himself a big Indy fan and thinks there are unique ways to give him a game adaptation. Exploration will play a significant part in MachineGames’ game. It will, of course, be about Indiana Jones, and he sees it as essential to have a sense of what it feels like to watch his adventures and experience them while playing. But when will we SEE the game? Howard says we can expect it in 2024. Will it be just another teaser or a full-blown showcase? MachineGames has been working on it for almost three years, and there’s a good chance Wolfenstein III is also in the works…

The teaser video at the time suggested that Indy would be set during his heydays, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War in the mid-1930s, and that some of the events would involve Rome. So again, there will be Nazi adversaries, and we can expect some kind of Da Vinci Code-like investigation. Some rumors suggest that there will be a mix of first and third-person perspectives and that the different segments will offer different gameplay.

Indiana Jones will almost certainly be developed as a multiplatform game by MachineGames, as Disney, which owns LucasFilm Games, rarely releases exclusives (maybe in VR, but not often there either), so the Microsoft-owned studio will most likely develop the whipping hero’s story for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
