The game Indiana Jones received a significant boost in development

The fifth film about Indiana Jones finally appeared before us in all its splendor. We have received the first trailer as well as the final title of the film, which reads: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Doom. And even if you ignore the game sound of such a name, you can say that something has begun to happen in the field of video games. For now untitled Indiana Joneswhich is being prepared by Bethesda and the MachineGames studio, in which newer parts of the Wolfenstein series were created, namely against the backdrop of the development of received important reinforcements.

He just joined MachineGames Jens Anderssonveteran Starbreeze Studios who will lead Director of Game Design for Indiana Jones. At the same time, Andersson becomes the lead designer of the cult classic from Starbreeze, which includes the first Darkness or stealth action The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Meat Bay.

After all, MachineGames is made up of several creators from Starbreeze Studios, so it’s no wonder Andersson is in message posted on Twitter, talks about the joy of being able to work with old and best friends, as well as talented newcomers. He also promises that the new Indiana Jones game will be something special because it delighted with what the studio is doing and how they work on the game.

Jens Andersson also said that in 2009, he worked as lead designer for the now-defunct LucasArts studio. precisely because of the development of the game starring Indiana Jones. This however, the project was canceled, as were a number of games created during the final years of LucasArts’ long erratic existence.. And that was before Andersson joined us, so the very next year he left the studio to embark on the path of an independent developer for 12 years. Now he is returning to create what he hoped for in the past.

Unfortunately, we still know little about the project itself. But we will definitely recognize Indiana Jones at the peak of his career in the game, so this will not be an adaptation or addition to a new filmwhich mostly takes place in 1969. However, Todd Howard, creative director at Bethesda Game Studios, which produces the new Indy game, spoke briefly about the game on a podcast. Lex Friedmanduring which there was also talk of the space RPG Starfield from Bethesda Game Studios or the series fall out from the Amazon studio.

Howard reassured us that MachineGames is ideally placed to develop a new game starring Indiana Jones and that this will be Indy’s love letter. That’s why it’s not surprising that Dr. Jones will be the most important of all. “You can talk about the world of Indiana Jones, but he is him, he is a character. I would just say that [hra] it’s a mix, it’s unique, and it’s not intentionally one thing. So it does a few different things that we wanted to do in the game. It’s a unique game.”

Incidentally, Howard also tried to approach LucasArts and parent company Lucasfilm in 2009 with the idea for an Indiana Jones game. These plans, which were to be carried out directly by Bethesda Softworks as publisher and Bethesda Game Studios as developer, did not come to fruition.. However, there was a game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that you may have heard of and played on your thermostat. Now the whole idea is getting a second chance, and in 2009 the person who was supposed to work on another and ultimately unrealized game adaptation of Indy’s adventures is involved in its implementation. The gaming industry is sometimes full of wonderful paradoxes.
