Phil Spencer believes that the Indiana Jones franchise has a future with Xbox
, by Thibaut
Although we don't know its sales figures, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been extremely well received by gamers. So much so that a sequel seems inevitable. An insider had already mentioned the subject last December.
Now it's Phil Spencer's turn to tease a possible sequel to MachineGames' title. The head of Microsoft Gaming was asked by Variety about the future of the franchise. The interview was recorded before the release of the latest Indiana Jones on PS5.
"I will say, we’re really happy with “Indy” and the players and the reception. We do think there’s life in that franchise, and I’m just gonna leave it at that. We’re launching on PlayStation here pretty soon. I think that’ll be a cool moment."
"I was really inspired by Machine Games taking someone else’s IP and doing something so unique, and I’m inspired about what that team can do next. Certain people were kind of pushing them on the first person versus third person. And I think once you play it, you realize you are Indy."
"But going forward, I also want to give the teams the ability to do our own games and our own franchises. We have a lot of room to tell new stories, as well. And I want to make sure that’s an option for us."
