We were on the verge of losing Camille earlier in the year when the MachineGames studio announced the arrival of a new game stamped Indiana Jones. Fortunately, today’s news should give it a boost.
A cup of coffee, a few old books, a compass, a camera: the teaser published by Bethesda last January contained little information about the return of the most famous archeology teachers to video games. And if the publisher had already made it clear that good old Todd Howard would take the role of executive producer, the most famous redhead in the business (after Poufy) had kept it under his elbow.
Hunter of the Lost Script
Questioned for a long time by our colleaguesIGN On the occasion of her show Unfiltered, Todd Howard has largely returned to the sites as Dantesque as many who await producers in the years to come, Elder Scrolls VI and Starfield in view. But the Indiana Jones theme was eventually invited without warning, and the producer took the opportunity to go back to the genesis of the project, which was not yesterday, as he already had the opportunity to brag:
I can tell you how it went When I take on the role of executive producer on a game, the important thing is to see it, it’s not a daily activity but something that happens once a week or even once a month depending on the progress of the game when I’m a director we spend a daily activity. People know I’m obsessed with Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best movie, end the debate. A long time ago I told the people at LucasArts about a game I had in mind and they offered to show it: It was 10 or 12 years ago and we hadn’t gotten started.
“You know a lot about Nazis”
So much for the background, but today it is the developers of the final episodes of the Wolfenstein series who are busy enchanting the famous explorer in the hat based on the script by Todd Howard, who did not fail the opportunity to get it out of one of his closets pick up:
We’re back in 2021, they’re now part of Disney, and I know John Drake well, so I’ll tell him about my Indiana Jones game idea. I told MachineGames about it because they might be interested, and they were ready for it. At the same time, they know what Nazis are like. So it’s you who are working on it, but I’m involved in the creative process: I brought this original story with me that we reworked together, and I’m happy to be able to help you with it.
You will understand: the next game, Indiana Jones, is based on the scenario of Todd Howard, who will therefore sign his second attempt as a recognized screenwriter after The Elder Scrolls Adventures Redguard, published in 1998, does not make us younger.
To find out what threats (terrestrial or not) are coming to test the famous Indiana Jones you need to be patient, and not just a little, as Pete Hines only stated a few months ago that the game “only” “” ‘to its all, all, very beginnings “.
