A recent rumor suggests that Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game is not only being developed by MachineGames but also by 343 Industries, id Software, and Tango Gameworks. Indiana Jones is one of the most eagerly awaited 2024 Xbox console exclusives, and having multiple studios working on it could potentially speed up development.
Bethesda first announced an Indiana Jones game with an original story back in 2021. Since then, the title became an Xbox and PC exclusive after Microsoft acquired Bethesda, and it’s set to release sometime during 2024. The game will be featured in the upcoming Xbox Developer Direct, which will happen on January 18, but information about the title is very scarce so far.
The rumor was originally shared by the co-host of the Xbox Infinite Podcast, Middleagegameguy. According to him, other studios owned by Microsoft, such as 343 Industries, id Software, and Tango Gameworks, are working on the upcoming Indiana Jones together with MachineGames.
While fans should take this information with a grain of salt, it makes sense if it’s true. Indiana Jones is an important franchise with many fans, and having multiple teams could greatly speed up the development and make 2024 a more attractive year for the Xbox fanbase. Also, the practice is not unheard of, as other major companies such as Nintendo have used the work of multiple studios before in huge titles like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Another advantage of having multiple teams is the talent involved in the game’s creation. MachineGames is a good pick for Indiana Jones, as the studio is well-known for its work with the Wolfenstein franchise and understands action games very well. However, Tango Gameworks created the critically acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush, and id Software has worked on the latest Doom games, for example, so they could be important additions to bring even more experienced devs to the project.
This is not the only recent rumor regarding the upcoming Indiana Jones game, though. Last week, a fan discovered that Lucasfilm registered several domains centered around the name Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which will possibly be the title of the game. In any case, more information about the project will be unveiled at Xbox Developer Direct later this week. Hopefully, the event will reveal the official name of the game, as well as more details about its gameplay, such as whether it’ll be a third or first-person experience, or if it will have multiplayer.
Bethesda is an American game development studio based in Maryland. They're best known for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. ZeniMax Media, Bethesda's parent company, was acquired by Microsoft in 2021, which then made it a part of Xbox Game Studios.

The upcoming video game tosses the intrepid archaeologist into a deadly adventure once more, and that journey looks like it will face him up against foes who are as dastardly as ever. Starting with rival archaeologist René Belloq and the army of Nazis on his side in, villains tend to be memorable parts of stories that are full of set pieces and surprises galore. Indiana always triumphs, of course, but his enemies are often done in by their hubris as much as they are by his wits.
Let’s start this article with a blunt statement: Microsoft is not doing the best right now when you look at its sales of the Xbox Series X/S or even some of the games on its platforms. It’s being blown away by the PlayStation 5, which it launched alongside, and is still being dominated by the Nintendo Switch despite it being seven years old! Microsoft has tried to “stem the tide” in certain ways, like by pushing the Xbox Game Pass, but even that is starting to show flaws. But its gamers are trying to hold onto hope, including by praising the console’s first-party titles coming in 2024.

The 45-minute presentation, streamed live on YouTube and Xbox's other social channels late Thursday, took the covers off MachineGames' upcoming Indiana Jones game, provided a release date for the highly anticipated Senua's Saga, and revealed a release window for Avowed, Obsidian's next big fantasy RPG.
The upcoming features a digital recreation of the eponymous character that looks and sounds a lot like Harrison Ford, allowing players to immerse themselves in a new adventure with the iconic archaeologist. The game will occur between the events of the movies and while presenting yet another dangerous worldwide quest that Indy is drawn into. As well-known as this hero of archeology is, nothing created in the franchise would be the same without the image and voice of Harrison Ford.

When his movies were some of the toasts of Hollywood, Lucasfilm made various games about the character that took him all over the world and looked for all sorts of artifacts. But it’s been some time since that experience was felt in the gaming space, and the last two movies starring him haven’t helped matters. However, over at Bethesda, Todd Howard had a vision, which has been revealed as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, headed up by Machine Games.
