LEGO Indiana Jones set for summer 08

To feature the first three cinematic adventures: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade.

LucasArts and TT Games have announced the development of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Videogame. Those who've played the LEGO Star Wars titles will have a rough idea of what to expect, with Traveller's Tales once again taking a tongue-in-cheek approach in translating a much loved motion picture series into the LEGO universe.

"In addition to providing the quality bonding time inspired by any good family game, LEGO Indiana Jones delivers something a little different for everyone," said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. "Parents will enjoy the humorous take on some of their favourite movies, and their kids get some rousing action/adventure gameplay that may also introduce them to Indy's original adventures for the first time."

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Videogame is scheduled for release across video game consoles next summer. LucasArts also notes that it remains hard at work on its revolutionary Indian Jones video game which takes place a year after The Last Crusade. The game will feature an original story overseen by George Lucas.
