I am so here for this! The last Indy game we got was Emperors Tomb. Todd Howard is also a huge Indy fan as well, so the fact that he's involved too is just awesome.

Poor thread title. Machine Games are the ones actually making it. Title makes it sound like it's the Bethesda studio. No one wants that.

They know a little something about punching Nazis and making great games. I am going to assume this game is third person, so that will be a bit of a change for them, but they know how to make a proper game.

The last ten minutes have been a roller coaster. Excitement, dampered by Todd Howard's name, having it explained to me by Darth that Todd Howard pretty much won't have anything to do with it, and now I'm back on the Indy game train.

Original, standalone story set in Indy's peak career.

Now that LucasArtsLucasfilm Games are back, I wonder if they're open to licensing the Star Wars IP to other developers once EA's time is done. I still hope for the day Obsidian gets theirs hands on the IP again.

Maybe? I guess we will see. If anything, this will force EA to stop making bad decisions.

As to Obsidian. You want them to make another rushed, inferior sequel, that is so buggy, it would make Bethesda blush?

Had no idea this was a possibility, wow! Please do it justice. Indy should be the best of its genre, ahead of the games that have taken its spot like Uncharted and Tomb Raider.

Oh my lawd.....

Whatever gives me an open-world Star Wars RPG.

Was having a crappy day but the news of an Indy game in the works made it a whole lot better

Machine Games are the guys behind Wolfenstein so it looks like they want to stick to shooting Nazis lol.

The last non-Lego Indy game I played was the lesser known Infernal Machine for N64. Never got around to playing Emperor's Tomb. It only just dawned on me today that there hasn't been a true Indy game in almost two decades but I suppose the Uncharted series kind of scratched that itch, albeit in a modern setting. Still, I'd be down for another Indy adventure, especially if it can take us to the less-explored early 1940s WWII era that Crystal Skull only alluded to.

I loved Emperor's Tomb. A lot like their first Buffy game, it was a pretty underrated gem imo.

If Obsidian made a game, I'd want it to be a Mando game. Any time period would do.

Me and my mate (an even bigger Indy fan than me) have been complaining about the lack of a genre-leading Indiana Jones game for decades. I have no idea why those in charge couldn't see how popular this could have been. Look at the success Uncharted and Tomb Raider got with no name behind them and then think what a TR1 or UC2 level intro game along with one of the best ever movie characters and associated film lore could have achieved.

There was actually an Indy game in the works that was suppose to come out in 2008 or 2009 that was cancelled unfortunately

There’s footage in YouTube and it looked like it would have been a fun game

That was more of a tech demo. Basically they were coming up with an idea, but a lot like The Force Unleashed which actually came out, it wasn't exactly a fully realized idea.

Could be worse... Could be CDProjektRed or BioWare.

Someone has clearly not played either of the last two Fallouts.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Doom: Eternal was awesome though.

I really hope it’s third person. You have to when you’re bringing one of the best movie characters in - people are going to want to actually see Indy (peak Ford Indy).

This is going to be a series X's eXclusive?

I would like to play an Indy game.

I'm in the minority who thinks Obsidian's KotOR was actually better than BioWare's, on the narrative side at least (deconstruction of the SWEU vs classic hero's journey). And while it won't fix the rushed ending, the Restoration Project adds a lot of the cut content and fixes many bugs.

Since it's Machine Games, I expect to murder tons of nazis.

No word yet if this game will be a Microsoft exclusive. Might just be a timed exclusive

I don’t think Disney would want one of their properties to be exclusive to just one console. There’s money to be made lol
