When I asked the LucasArts reps about the game, they assured us that they were working on it, and that they would be announcing something... soon. Now, this is just my theory, but I'm hoping that the reason for the secrecy and the delay is that they're hammering out a contract with Harrison Ford to provide his likeness and voice in the game. Otherwise, why not just tell us they're working on a new game? It's one of the highest grossing movies of the year, so it wouldn't exactly surprise anyone.

There was a lot more artwork that they asked us not to photograph, but it showed Indy in various locales: in an elephant chase, on a zeppelin, watching a Chinese dragon parade in China (is Short Round coming back?), in a primitive diving suit staring out over an underground pool complete with Nazi chests in a corner, and the Orient Express. The pieces were all extremely large reproductions (about five feet by seven feet), and looked fantastic. Next trip, I'll distract someone and sneak one out while wearing an Octo-Camo suit.

While I would have liked to ferret out the rest, it was a whirlwind tour, and I was afraid I was going to get "vanished" by Lucas Security if I tried to get any more information. As soon as we hear anything from LucasArts about this game, we'll pass it on, but in the meantime we're hoping all this extra time and secrecy means something good.
