Bethesda's Indiana Jones is Taking Shape; It Will be a Mix of TPP and FPP
Credible reports have surfaced online about the Indiana Jones game from the creators of Wolfenstein: The New Order.
New reports have emerged regarding the upcoming Indiana Jones game, developed by Machine Games, studio known for the new Wolfenstein series.
- In the recent episode of the XboxEra podcast, reputable insider Shpeshal Nick revealed that the game will offer both a first-person view and TPP mode.
- Players will not be able to freely switch between the two. Instead, they will be imposed in certain parts of the game - some of which will be played in FPP, while others in TPP.
- Shpeshal Nick stresses that this information applies to the game in its current form. The project is still in the early stages of development and many things, including the way the action is shown, are still subject to change.
- We give credence to the words of this insider, as he seems to have reliable sources connected with this project. When the game using the Indiana Jones license was announced, most commentators were convinced that it would also come to Sony's consoles. Shpeshal Nick was one of the few to claim from the beginning that it would be exclusive to PC and Xbox Series X/S. Last week, during a hearing on Microsoft's approval to acquire Activision Blizzard, it turned out that he was right.
This approach seems to make sense. Machine Games specialized in creating first-person action games, and it's easy to understand the desire to apply this experience to a new project. At the same time, the specifics of this license are such that realizing all sequences in FPP would not be a good idea. There is a reason why classic productions such as Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb or Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, have relied on TPP view.
