Indiana Jones' return to the gaming world isn't just for nostalgic fans. Thanks to developers who know what they're doing, the new game could bring a whole new fan base to the franchise.

Bethesda Softworks announced last week that a new, original story starring fictional archaeologist and famed explorer Indiana Jones is in the works. It's news that came as a surprise to many, and has fans hoping that the studio that brought them Wolfenstein and Fallout will be the perfect home for Indy.

While details about the game are scarce, seasoned gamers are expecting it to feature the same kind of high-quality, expansive open world that Bethesda is known for, only this time around you’ll be playing with a whip and a fedora.

“When I saw the announcement, it put a smile on my face,” Jeff Brady, founder of gaming news site Set Ready Game, said in an email to Lifewire.
