Todd Howard celebrates the Indiana Jones game he's spent years trying to make by stealing a golden idol from its developers

To celebrate the first trailer of Bethesda's upcoming Indiana Jones game, executive producer Todd Howard stole a Golden Idol from the developer working on it. 

One of the highlights of yesterday's Xbox Developer Direct 2024 was getting our first proper look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Not only did we get the game's very first trailer and find out its 2024 release date, but we also heard from the developers working on it at MachineGames and Todd Howard himself - who has been trying to get the Indiana Jones game made for over a decade.

In the presentation, Xbox visited MachineGames in Sweden and towards the end of the video, game director, Jerk Gustafsson, thanked everyone for watching and revealed that the game is set to release "later this year." If you were paying attention during this part, you may have noticed a very subtle cameo from Todd Howard who quietly swipes the Golden Idol perched on the desk behind Gustafsson.
