Where art thou, Indy? 20 Sep, 2008 / Comments: 6

By The Tingler


So it seems that the rumours about LucasArts re-unveiling Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings this week were false. Oh well, hopefully next week. Or month, or year...

Whatever, but we do have new news on the tie-in novel written by Rob McGregor, who confirms the title once more (fancy doing it too LucasArts?). Some bright spark at TheRaider.net's forum emailed him and received this response:
Thanks for your kind words about my Indy novels. I do have another one coming out, but not until next year. It's related to the sixth generation of the Indiana Jones computer game. Game and novel have the same title -- Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings -- and somewhat similar story lines. My novel was completed months ago and was originally scheduled to come out at the time of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But production on the game was delayed. The current publication date is Fall of '09...
So does that mean we're not getting the game until late 2009?

    So, the game's coming out without any side release? No dvds? No rushed-out animated movie? By Jove, LucasArts's got balls. I'm shocked.

    You forgot the Blu-ray release of the first three movies. Only the fourth one's being released on Blu-ray this year.

    And the book of course.

    Ok, it was too good to be true. :-P

    I wouldn't surprised at all if the game wasn't coming out until Fall '09.

    At this point I think that such an estimate is on the optimistic side, even.
