Developers of theWolfensteinseries, MachineGames, were said to be developing a newIndiana Joneswith Bethesda over two years ago. The announcement was met with a lot of hype, asIndiana Jonesis a fan-favorite character.
No updates have followed ever since the announcement, when it was mentioned the title would be created in partnership with LucasFilms. The game was anticipated to come either next year or by 2025, but since there have been no updates by the developers, it’s likely not coming out any time soon. The developers are also said to be working on a newWolfensteintitle, also without an expected release date as of now.
What’s Known So Far About the Indiana Jones Game
In aninterviewwith GQ in August, Bethesda Director, Todd Howard, sat down to speak about Starfield, before the title’s release. While speaking about what to expect fromStarfield, Howard also touched upon the next big title from Bethesda, which was revealed to be a bucket list item for him. It was the first time the game was discussed after the initialrevealby Bethesda about the whole project.
The game was said to be based on “Nazi-killing” and Howard mentioned the developers, MachineGames, had so far done a “great job“. The game was initially considered a multi-platform title before Microsoft’s acquisition. However, following the FTC trial, Bethesda’s Head of Global Publishing confirmed that theIndiana Jonesgame being developed by MachineGames will be an Xbox and PC exclusive, much likeStarfieldandRedfallbefore that.
It was also leaked earlier this year that theIndiana Jonesgame is said to be both first-person and third-person throughout the game, with some sections of the game exclusive to one of the two modes. There’s no clarity on the percentage each of the two modes will be played out in the game.
From Reddit discussions and X posts where fans discussed what’s been leaked and revealed so far about the untitledIndiana Jonesgame, the community is sure to welcome the title with open arms regardless if it’s a first or third-person game.

Among the uncovered documents from the FTC trial, there were mentions of upcoming titles from Bethesda. The untitledIndiana Jonesgame was listed as part of a 2022 financial year, which didn’t materialize. The title was pushed back to be included in the 2023 plans by Bethesda, but we now know that has not worked out either, since there has been no official update all year by developers, MachineGames.
