Rumor: One Of The Upcoming Bethesda Games Is “Under The Disney Banner”
25.09.2023 - 09:49 / gameranx.com / Nick Baker
We have an interesting new rumor connected to the recent Microsoft leak.
First, let’s go back to what part of this leak is involved here. Last week we reported on Bethesda’s pipeline for upcoming games. Bethesda’s projects were part of the discussions between Microsoft and the FTC, and that material also got leaked with zero redactions.
So we know about some projects but not all of them. What’s relevant here is that two of those games were not revealed even to the FTC. Instead, Microsoft identified them under the codenames Project Kestrel and Project Platinum.
“Shpeshal” Nick Baker, on the latest episode of XboxEra, revealed some key information about one of these two games that are still under the wraps. As he described it, one of those games falls under the Disney banner. You can catch him talking about this rumor on this timestamp.
So let’s be clear about this. This game is definitely not the untitled Indiana Jones game that Machine Games is making. Nick made sure to make it clear that this is an entirely different project.
As his cohosts in XboxEra have also pointed out, his announcement doesn’t really narrow down what game this could possibly be. Disney’s oldest IPs are, of course, the ones they made themselves. Many of their most famous animated movies have become classic video games, from Aladdin to The Lion King. Disney’s mascot Mickey, and his cast, have also been in many games and game franchises. Everyone remembers Kingdom Hearts here, but Epic Mickey and the Mickey games on the Sega Genesis were all noteworthy games as well.
But of course, the big money here is probably going to be in the other big name properties that Disney owns. Without a doubt, at the front of the line there is the Marvel property and Star Wars.
Between the two, Star Wars has seen more considerable success, with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor recently coming out as one of 2023’s highlights, and Star Wars Outlaws promising to wow us in the future. A new Star Wars game from Bethesda, that may or may not be Xbox exclusive, would be a gem project for the platform.
On the other hand, Marvel hasn’t done as well recently. Marvel’s Avengers in particular has so marred the license, that even the more critically received Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has fallen under the radar.
Of course, Sony has been doing better in this account, making their PlayStation exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man games, and with Marvel’s Wolverine coming in the future. If Microsoft convinced Disney to give them the reigns to some Marvel characters of their own, that could place them in a considerably better competitive position against Sony.
So, we don’t know much about this now, but the possibilities are brimming with this rumor.

Amazing Doom total conversion mod is like a new Indiana Jones game
I’ve never been great at math, but Doom plus Indiana Jones seems like an equation for success. In the 30 years since Doom’s release, we’ve seen hundreds, perhaps thousands, of total conversion mods, from the excellent Brutal Doom to the cerebral and scary My House. Now, the defining PC FPS from id Software gets a dose of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, as an enormous Doom mod casts you in the role of a Stetson-wearing treasure hunter blasting his way through Mesopotamia and Egypt. If you’ve been waiting on a new Indiana Jones game, like for example the one from Bethesda, this will more than tide you over in the meantime.

The Lamplighters League and the Tower at the End of the World Review
Developer Harebrained Schemes are no stranger to the turn-based strategy genre. With the cyberpunk Shadowrun Returns series and mech-fighting Battletech under their belts, the seasoned team is back again, this time with an alternate 1930s setting where the nefarious Banished Court is hellbent on taking over the world. With a new real-time stealth component and a story that is part Indiana Jones, part noir detective story, Harebrained Schemes isn’t just sticking to their tried and true turn-based combat with The Lamplighters League and the Tower at the End of the World. I’ve spent dozens of hours battling evil with my ragtag band of misfits, and I’m here to tell you that Harebrained Studios may have another hit on their hands.
