The release window for Bethesda’s long-awaited Indiana Jones has reportedly been discovered. And it’s closer than you think. In addition, it fits with an event announced yesterday.
Indiana Jones is Bethesda’s next big project after Starfield. The space epic has captured the hearts of many players, but now it’s time for a slightly different adventure. At the helm of the project is MachineGames, best known for its work on the latest Wolfensteins. The problem is that we know almost nothing about the game. But that has obviously just changed, and we now know its release window.
Indiana Jones release window discovered?
Indeed, sources close to the development have provided information of the utmost importance to Insider Gaming. Indiana Jones would be released in 2024, not 2025 as some people think. As a reminder, the game was teased for the first time in January 2021, and since then, it has been completely calm. He remains in the shadows, and we would like to have news from the publisher or the studio. However, rest assured, it won’t be long before it arrives, and we can thank Xbox for that.
Yes, the firm recently unveiled a new Developer_Direct which will take place on January 18. Among the titles present at the meeting, we find Indiana Jones. On the program is a 10-minute presentation with gameplay and information on the story. Obviously, Bethesda and MachineGames took this long to bring the game out into the open to make a worthy announcement. This could therefore include a precise release date, which would be set in 2024.
Another clue that supports this rumor is the intervention of Shinobi602 on the Reddit platform. The latter, who works for Wushu Studios, is sometimes aware of what’s going on in the industry. Here he responded to another user who was surprised to see Indiana Jones at Xbox Direct, given his lack of communication. Here is the sentence that was written: “ if you knew when it was going to come out, not really “. You could almost say that he spilled the beans, and that makes you want to be January 18 even more.
The PS5 will not be able to take advantage of it
Originally, this Indiana Jones game was supposed to be cross-platform. However, this was without counting the acquisition of Bethesda by Microsoft. The trial between the Redmond firm and the FTC, as part of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, revealed that it then became an Xbox Series and PC exclusive. No luck for PS5 owners. Of course, this didn’t make everyone happy, and as a result, Disney finally offered an explanation about a month ago.
With Xbox still being one of the biggest players in the video game market, we didn’t feel like we were being too exclusive. We thought the game would still reach a wide audience. Then financially and strategically speaking, it also made sense at that time.
