According to recent news, the new Indiana Jones game will feature a mix of first- and third-person views, which will take the adventure to a new level. The exclusive PC and Xbox game is being developed by MachineGames – a PlayStation version is therefore not expected.

This week it was revealed that the Indiana Jones game, which is made by MachineGames, will only be available on PC and Xbox consoles. We got the news from Bethesda’s director of publishing, Pete Hines, who confirmed that the game was originally intended for multiple platforms, but Microsoft renegotiated the deal with Lucasfilm after Bethesda’s acquisition.

Most pundits strongly believed that the game would be available on multiple platforms, but XboxEra’s Shiptal Nick previously claimed that the Indiana Jones game would be exclusive. In a recent podcast episode, Nick shared new information about the camera views used in the game. MachineGames has previously only developed first-person games, but Indiana Jones might be better suited to the third-person view than Naughty Dog’s Uncharted.

According to Nick’s source, the game will feature a combination of both views, although they will be fixed and not optional like Bethesda games. Many have speculated whether Indiana Jones will be played in first or third person. According to Nick, both will be in the game. He said there will be specific sections, some will be first person and some will be third person.

The inclusion of third-person views in the game is an interesting choice. It is not yet known if the third-person segments will be limited to vehicles or not. A mixed camera view might make sense, considering what Bethesda Game Studios games like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield game director and Indiana Jones executive producer Todd Howard said on the Lex Fridman podcast.

As a big fan of the franchise, Todd Howard first floated the idea of an Indiana Jones title in 2009, and although the game was almost given the green light, Bethesda didn’t have the capacity to make the project happen at the time. A few years later, he tried again, and then MachineGames was available to make the game. According to the latest rumors, the Swedish team is also working on another project, although it may not be Wolfenstein 3.

The Indiana Jones game does not yet have an official release date. However, considering the studio hasn’t released anything since 2019, we might not be far from an announcement.
