Back at the start of 2021, Bethesda and MachineGames announced that they're working on an all-new Indiana Jones game. We haven't heard much about it since, but during the ongoing hearing into the FTC's objection to Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, it came to light that the game will be exclusive to Xbox and PC.
What makes the situation especially interesting is that Bethesda had originally planned the Indiana Jones game as a multiplatform release. But that changed several months after the announcement, when Microsoft acquired Bethesda, at which point it was made an Xbox console exclusive. As reported by IGN, Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines said the decision was made to reduce risk and get a "degree of clarity" from Disney, which licensed the rights to make the game to Bethesda.
