In a surprising announcement recently, Bethesda’s MachineGames announced that it is working on a brand newIndiana Jonesvideo game that will feature a completely original story.The announcement included a short teaser trailershowing the titular character’s desk filled with various artifacts from his adventures and his iconic whip and hat. Unfortunately, the announcement did not reveal the upcoming game’s release date or the platforms where it will be available.
In a follow-up tweet released after the announcement, Bethesda revealed that the newIndiana Jonesgame would be executive produced by Todd Howard. Now, players who follow every single game that is in development by Bethesda would know that Todd Howard is also working on other big Bethesda games such asStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6, alongside other projects, including a Fallout TV show. Understandably, some fans became worried that Howard is taking on too much at a time, which could affectStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls’development.

Immediately after the confirmation of Howard’s role in the upcomingIndiana Jonesgame, Bethesda’s marketing exec Peter Hines clarified on Twitter, saying that although Howard will be an executive producer forIndiana Jones,his focus will primarily revolve around directingStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6. Most importantly, the developer reiterated that the announcement ofIndiana Jonesdoes not affect the development ofStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6.
Ever since its announcement back in E3 2018,Starfieldquickly became one of Bethesda’s hotly-anticipated titles. Unfortunately,specific details onStarfieldare still being kept under wraps, and Bethesda still hasn’t released any gameplay footage on the upcoming game. Unsurprisingly, its exact release date is also a mystery, which is no surprise for a Bethesda game, though the company confirmed thatStarfieldwould be released beforeThe Elder Scrolls 6.
Similarly,The Elder Scrolls 6is also one of Bethesda’s highly-anticipated titles right now, even though players know nothing about the upcoming game, except thatit may come to the PS5 after all despite the Microsoft-Bethesda acquisition. As of the moment, the only preview that Bethesda was only able to show is a dramatic reveal of its logo that was shown at E3 several years ago. When Bethesda was asked when players should expect the game, the studio only said that it is still far off, and many believe that it won’t be available until 2024 at the latest. Now, with the announcement ofIndiana Jones, it appears that Bethesda players should look forward to a wide variety of games in the years to come.
