Bethesda studio Machine Games is making a new Indiana Jones game, the publisher announced in a short teaser on Twitter today.
The game will feature an original story and be a collaboration between Machine Games and Lucasfilm Games, with Todd Howard as the executive producer on the project. Bethesda didn’t reveal anything further about the game in its brief Twitter thread, and wrote “it’ll be some time” before it has any more information to share about it.

Machine Games, founded in 2009 by former Starbreeze developers, is responsible for the most recent trilogy of new Wolfenstein games, including Wolfenstein: The New Order, The New Colossus, and Youngblood. Lucasfilm Games, meanwhile, is Lucasfilm’s newly-announced video game publishing label, after the LucasArts name was abandoned following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012.
The Lucasfilm Games Name, At Least, Is Back
Lucasarts is dead, but for some reason, the powers behind The Brands have decided that the company’s previous name — Lucasfilm Games — is something that needs to be resurrected, and so will now be on the box and the end of trailers for every Star Wars game going forward.

Holy crap, does this mean EA may not be holding exclusive rights to Star Wars games in the future?
Well their licence already runs out this year I believe. It was likely going to happen anyway
Hopefully the get Harrison Ford’s likeness!
Nah… we’ll probably get his non union Mexican equivalent.
So, I’m guessing here that this’ll be an Xbox/PC exclusive?
I mean, it’s MachineGames who are owned by Microsoft, and this won’t be coming out til what, end of 2023, so most of the development would’ve been completed while they were a Microsoft owned subsidiary..
Makes sense to me that this’ll be Xbox/PC only..
Most likely yes
I suppose getting type cast as the studio that makes games about shooting Nazis isn’t the worst thing in the world.
