Staff of Kings - cancelled 03 Jun, 2009 / Comments: 6

By jp-30


The Raider is reporting that the finished novelization of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings has been cancelled.
The book [written by Indy veteran Rob MacGregor] and the game were originally scheduled to come out in June of 2008, simultaneously with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Both were pushed back to the fall of '08, then June '09 as the Indy operation underwent a shake-up.
After that, the game and book were pushed back yet another year to June of '10. But then the ambitious plans for a new Indy game platform were dropped, and the new video game was moved back to June '09.
What a debacle.

    I don't think that it's a lucasarts decision.
    guess that lucas licensing is probably responsible

    James Joyce's Stephen Hero and Rob MacGregor's Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings.
