The upcoming Indiana Jones game executive produced by Bethesda’s Todd Howard will be a “unique” mash-up of different genres.
Speaking to Lex Fridman on the latest episode of his podcast, Howard denied to comment on which one genre Machine Games’ Indiana Jones would be, instead saying it was a blend of different things.
When asked if it will be an action-adventure game, Howard said: “I will just say it’s a mash-up. It’s unique. It isn’t one thing, intentionally, so it does a lot of different things that myself and the folks at Machine Games have wanted to do in a game. So it’s a unique thing.”
Very little has been said about Indiana Jones since Bethesda announced it in January 2021. It is confirmed to have an original story, at least some of which is set in 1937 and probably in Vatican City, meaning it’s somewhere between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
A very brief teaser trailer released alongside the announcement (above) also alludes that Indy will visit Egypt, Peru, and Mesopotamia.
Indiana Jones was thought to be in early development around that time, meaning it’ll likely still be a couple of years before it’s released. Given that Xbox now owns Bethesda, it will probably follow Starfield’s lead of being an Xbox exclusive, though no hard details regarding a release date or platform have been given so far.
