It looks like Indy is not done just yet. MachineGames might already be working on a new Indiana Jones game! Nothing has been officially confirmed, but there is a pretty big clue that something is going on behind the scenes.
A Job Listing That Says a Lot Without Saying It
A few people recently spotted a Senior Concept Artist job listing at MachineGames. We agree, it doesn’t name Indiana Jones directly, but some details feel a little too obvious to be about anything else.
The listing mentions needing experience in both video games and the film industry, but also having to be familiar with the “industry of entertainment“. That lines up way too well with the fact that Indiana Jones is both movies and games.
Under the qualifications, you can also see this: “Ability to understand and communicate the vision of the Creative Director while considering the constraints of art style, gameplay and technical possibilities of the project“. This looks like it means that they already have the art style and gameplay ready, so it being a sequel to a previous game is highly possible.
Since the PS5 version of The Great Circle launched only a couple of months ago, it is fair to guess that this next project is still super early. Probably still in concept and visual design stages. Hiring a senior artist this soon usually means they are still figuring out the look and feel of the game before full production starts.
We barely had any proper Indiana Jones games in the last 20 years, so The Great Circle already felt like a rare win. If a sequel is really happening, it shows MachineGames are ready to turn Indiana Jones into a full game series, not just a one time thing.
However, keep in mind that this is only speculation, and nothing is confirmed. It could also just be a new game that has nothing to do with Indiana Jones.
