Well this is certainly a pleasant surprise. This morning, Bethesda announced that Machine Games is working on a new, original Indiana Jones game. The title will be produced by Todd Howard in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. It goes without saying as well, that this is yet another new IP that will fall under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella given the Bethesda acquisition.
A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, @MachineGames, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with @LucasfilmGames. It'll be some time before we have more to reveal, but we’re very excited to share today’s news!

Our Take
This is incredibly exciting. Machine Games is loaded with talent, having Todd Howard and Lucasfilm Games overseeing is excellent, and it could partially be funded by Xbox Game Studios. We certainly cannot wait to see more!
