Indiana Jones (next-gen)

There is always hope for a next-gen Indiana Jones game, LucasArts has said. Speaking to VideoGamer.com, voice director David Collins revealed that the next-gen versions of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, a game due out for all major platforms except the 360 and PS3, were canned because of timing and financial reasons.

DarkZero: With the recent announcement that Lucasarts are working on Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for Wii, DS, PS2 and the PSP, many people wondered what had happened with the next gen version of Indiana Jones that was highly boasted about a few years back, and if development of that game was happening, albeit quietly, concurrently with Staff of Kings. However, this seems not to be the case, and Lucasarts have now confirmed they've decided to work solely on Staff of Kings, making a strategic business decision to end development of the 360/PS3 versions.

Joystiq Writes: GN reports that multiple sources at LucasArts and elsewhere indicate that the developer's next-gen Indiana Jones game has been canceled; however, Joystiq has contacted LucasArts for an official statement and things don't appear so cut-and-dry. According to a LucasArts representative, LucasArts remains absolutely committed to the Indiana Jones franchise. While we are aware that fans have been eagerly awaiting additional information on the upcoming game, they can rest assured that details are forthcoming. Well, that doesn't sound like the game is dead, although there's certainly wiggle room in that quote to speculate that the long-in-development title has been killed with another taking its place. Of course, that would just be our old friends Rumor and Speculation stopping by to say hi.

LucasArts' internally developed Indiana Jones game (scheduled for release on PS3, Xbox 360 and DS) is still in development, but the company is no longer referring to it by the Indiana Jones 2007 codename. This likely signals a delay to coincide with the release of Indiana Jones 4 next year.

And despite running on development kits in demo form only, the game already looks like it might live up to almost any amount of hype. Boasting what the team are calling Euphoria technology, the game uses the power of the next-gen consoles to do more than simply whiz tons of impressive graphics around the screen; it creates a world and fills it with
