Indiana Jones can't avoid every blow that comes his way, can he? This time he was hit by a can. As in the next Indiana Jones game is canned, as reported by IGN's sources. This is tagged as a rumor for now, but with the conspicuous lack of solid news on the game for years now, it seems likely.

Dr. Jones, I presume? For those of you who brushed off LucasArts' Indiana Jones game as vaporware, or just plum forgot that the game exists, here's a quick update.

It's still in the works. See, that was quick.

Last we heard about Indiana Jones (PS3, Xbox 360), LucasArts' next entry in the Indiana Jones video game franchise, it was already deep into production. Now we're hearing some rumors saying that the game's first trailer will be unveiled next week.

Legendary action hero Indiana Jones is making a return to the spotlight in the upcoming Indiana Jones game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The game, which carries a working title of Indiana Jones 2007, is an epic, original story set in 1939, and is the first from LucasArts with direction from George Lucas himself.

Indiana Jones 2007 features the revolutionary new euphoria technology from NaturalMotion, which delivers never-before-seen life-like action and awareness to every character in real time - so you'll never see the same thing twice.

Combine that with LucasArts' completely interactive Hot Set environments, which makes every setting in Indiana Jones 2007 open-ended and completely destructible in a way that only next-generation consoles can deliver, and you have a title that could finally make up for Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade: The Action Game.

To fuel our excitement more about Indiana Jones 2007 (still the game's working name), we're providing you with the latest artwork we've recently come across.

Players will follow the legendary hero's adventures, mishaps and missions set all over the world. The game takes place during Indy's prime, 1939, which is just a year after "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade."

Players can use several weapons like a revolver, a whip, and even fists to take on enemies. Hopefully we can see in the game exactly what we saw in the "Indiana Jones" movies (and more), especially now that LucasArts, NaturalMotion, and Industrial Light & Magic are working on the game.

Here now are the promised artwork of Indiana Jones 2007 - enjoy!

LucasArts entertainment have released some information and screenshots on their upcoming next-generation release for the Xbox360 and PS3: Indiana Jones 2007. Now, this may not be the most glamorous of names, but this is a working title, so it'll be changed to something a bit more exotic closer to the release date.
 

Set in 1939, this original Indy story - the first from LucasArts with direction from George Lucas - puts you in the fedora of the legendary adventure hero as he unravels the clues found in ancient artifacts spanning the globe. From San Francisco's Chinatown to the world's most sacred ground, Indy must use his fists, whip and trusty revolver to fight through ruthless opposition and piece together a mystery of biblical proportions.

Indiana Jones 2007 will feature cutting-edge euphoria technology from NaturalMotion, which is supposed to deliver never-before-seen lifelike action and awareness to every character in real time - so you'll never see the same thing twice. For the first time ever, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time. Here's some more information for all you Indy fans out there:

• This epic, original story written with direction by George Lucas - a first for Indiana Jones games - takes place during Indy's prime in 1939, one year after the events of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, at a time when the Nazis are embarking upon their attempt to conquer Europe.
• Use your fists, whip and trusty revolver to take on enemies and experience a down-and-dirty fight like only Indiana Jones delivers.
• New technologies such as euphoria (a behavioral simulation engine from NaturalMotion) and Digital Molecular Matter (a breakthrough in environmental interaction by Pixelux Entertainment) combine to revolutionize the feeling of realism in a game without the limitations of traditional animation, ensuring a completely unique experience every time.
• Face off against one of Indiana's most hated longtime rivals, reunite him with old friends, and meet more of his most trusted allies throughout the world.
• Indiana Jones 2007 is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.

I don't know about you, but this techno-gabble seems pretty good. Lets hope LucasArts put it in more of their future titles! Here's the rest of the eye Candy.
