An updated factsheet found on LucasArts' official Indiana Jones and The Staff of Kings page drops some new details surrounding the upcoming release for Wii and PlayStation 2. The most interesting nugget is that players will be able to unlock a full version of the classic adventure game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, a game which hit the PC, Commodore 64 and Amiga back in 1992.
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings features completely interactive environments, where players need to call upon their wits and daring to make each spring-loaded environment a weapon in order to dispense of foes in clever and unexpected ways. Also, embark upon thrilling action sequences that remain true to the spirit established in scenes such as Indy's pursuit of the motorcade in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the free-for-all aboard the tank in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

In addition to the single-player story mode, Lucas is touting a co-op mode which will allow two players to engage in an entirely new quest. Additionally, a four-player versus mode will include such staples as biplane fighting and tank battles.



Bryn says: I love it when publishers and developers include cool unlockables in their games. This is a rocking example of how to generate interest in not only a brand-new IP, but also a classic game that scored big back in the early '90s. Indy is a strong brand for sure, but what happened to the "next-gen" title that I saw three years ago at E3? Oh, that's right. Scuttlebutt claims that that project is now dead.
