Everyone grab your leather whip and fedora because Bethesda and Lucasfilm Games have just announced that a brand new Indiana Jones game is in development!

According to Bethesda Games, the story is an “original” story. This is also the first game announced under the brand new Lucasfilm Games banner. I wouldn’t expect this game to hit shelves anytime soon because Bethesda also stated that it will be quite some time before they have any more to reveal about the game.
For those of you that aren’t aware, Microsoft acquired Bethesda and parent company Zenimax with all of their studios last year for a whopping $7.5 billion dollars. That also includes Machine Games which are helping develop the new Indiana Jones video game.
Since the game is being developed by Microsoft companies, many are believing that this will possibly be a Microsoft exclusive game and perhaps only playable on Xbox consoles or Windows 10. Platforms haven’t officially been announced and most likely won’t be for some time, but that’s where the expectation is right now.
