Игра Индиана Джонс: Все, что мы знаем

Ever since I watched Рейдеры утраченного ковчега, I couldn’t help wanting to experience gaming in Indiana Jones’ shoes. And even though there have been a few adaptations over the years, like the point-and-click adventure, “Индиана Джонс и судьба Атлантиды,” it seems we won’t have to wait that much longer for a new game. Bethesda and MachineGuns finally confirmed in 2021 that they are working on a new Индиана Джонс game. Fun fact: Did you know Bethesda Director, Todd Howard, first pitched the concept for the Индиана Джонс movie in 2009? 

The deal fell apart, though, with Howard having to wait a while longer for the perfect team to be put in place. In a recent podcast, Todd Howard hesitated to reveal the genre of the new game, saying it’s going to be a blend of many things, which sparks more anticipation about when exactly Индиана Джонс is coming out. What’s the story, setting, characters, or combat in the new game? Although the folks at MachineGames have been tight-lipped for the most part, we can sum up a decent list of things from the little they have shed light on so far. So, whenever you’re ready, here is everything we know about the new Индиана Джонс game.

Что такое Индиана Джонс?

Индиана Джонс is an upcoming game based on the popular movie hero, Индиана Джонс. The game was first announced in январь 2021 as a new product in development by Bethesda subsidiary, MachineGames, in collaboration with LucasfilmGames. 

During Lex Fridman’s podcast, Bethesda Director Todd Howard hesitated to reveal much detail about the new game. Questions around the story, gameplay, and overall details of the game went unanswered.

When pressed further about the genre the new game will be based on, Howard described the game as a blend of many genres, saying, “Это не одна вещь намеренно, поэтому оно делает много разных вещей.” 

He also added that “если вам нравится Индиана Джонс, это определенно любовное письмо Индиане Джонсу и всему, что с ним связано,” instantly reverting back to his love for the archaeologist adventurer, and the movie, Рейдеры утраченного ковчега, being his favorite of all time.

Игровой процесс

Howard’s comments definitely raise more questions than answers. Especially since most people believed the game to have an action-adventure gameplay style. Now, there’s just no knowing what exactly the gameplay will look like. Perhaps the game will feature some puzzle-solving and dungeon-crawling elements. We’ll have to wait and see.

Сюжет

Very little is known about the story of the new game. During the announcement, Bethesda revealed the new Индиана Джонс game is in development and features an original story about Индиана Джонс. Some parts of the original story are also presumed to have taken place in 1937, likely in Vatican City. 

Given Bethesda’s past experience in developing stories about Nazis in the Wolfenstein series, it’s possible we’ll see a step-up adaptation of the same. Moreso, considering we know Индиана Джонс to fight against Nazis in some parts of his adventures.

With Индиана Джонс still in its early development stages, the overall idea for the storyline is that it will be a standalone feature set at the height of Индиана Джонс’ career. 

Разработка

The Индиана Джонс game is currently in its very early stages of development. MachineGames isn’t at all new to the scene, having developed the Волчьenstein series and, more recently, Deathloop. With Волчьenstein’s focus on first-person gameplay and the Nazis, it’s possible MachineGames will step up their game in their transition to Индиана Джонс, both narratively and gameplay-wise.

Трейлер

So far, there is only a very brief teaser that was released as part of Bethesda’s январь 2021 announcement for the new game. There isn’t much to go by from the trailer, which shows a simple display of Индиана Джонс’ desk featuring plenty of his iconic items atop it like his fedora hat and his iconic whip.

You can also see a plane ticket to Rome with the date 1937. So, perhaps the game will be set in 1937, somewhere between the events of Рейдеры утраченного ковчега and Индиана Джонс и последний крестовый поход. Along with the plane ticket are a few notes scribbled with references to Vatican City and the US government. 

If I were to take a wild guess, I’d say the new game probably takes gamers on a hunt for some ancient holy relic or wild discoveries in some ancient ruins in Rome. Other than taking wild guesses, it’s hard to say whether Харрисон Форд will voice the character in the new game. Or what the gameplay or story will be like.

Since the trailer release, Bethesda has given very little away to feed spikes in curiosity. So all we can do is wait a little longer for the actual release or a more defined trailer.

Дата выпуска, платформы и издания

During январь 2021’s first announcement, Bethesda was pretty reluctant to give a definitive release date for the new game. It’s highly unlikely that Индиана Джонс will be ready in 2022. However, a 2023 release window could be more realistic. Plus, a new Индиана Джонс movie will drop release on June 30th, 2023, so perhaps Bethesda will capitalize on the movie’s hype and release the game within the same year. Time will tell.

Platform-wise, since most Bethesda games launch on the Xbox, we believe Индиана Джонс will be an Xbox exclusive too. It could also launch on PlayStation 5. Either way, Bethesda is yet to give an official confirmation as to which platforms the new game will release on. We also don’t know the editions available, which isn’t surprising given that Индиана Джонс is still in its very early stage development phase.

There isn’t much we know about the new Индиана Джонс game. And with Bethesda’s past extensive periods between announcements and actual releases, it’s possible it might be several years before we get our hands on it. Still, the anticipation runs high as we anxiously wait to hear more hard details about the game. For more information on that, you can follow the social handle here.
