Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game was first pitched to George Lucas over a decade ago.
That’s according to executive producerTodd Howard, who toldThe Telegraphhe was “super excited” about how the game is going.
“I think I originally pitched [to George] Lucas in 2009 and I’ve been trying to find a way to make that [since],” Howard explained.
“And I think the workMachineGameshave done, they’re just phenomenal developers and storytellers. And when I started talking to them about it, it was a good fit. And we got to the opportunity to talk to Lucas and Disney about it and they were super excited.
“I really like Indiana Jones but never thought I’d have the opportunity to make a game. And you’ll hear about more of that in the future. But the team at MachineGames are the best team in the world to pull this game off and they’re doing a phenomenal job.”
