People who were hoping that the 81-year-old actor would play Indiana Jones in the action-adventure game will be very disappointed. This is because it has been confirmed that a prestigious actor from the gaming industry will bring the adventurer to life in this new proposal.
Specifically, Entertainment Weekly reported that Troy Baker, who played Joel Miller in the The Last of Us saga on PlayStation and many more characters throughout his career, will lend his voice to the archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. According to a developer from the studio, the actor is a great admirer of the character.
"[Troy Baker] really brings that charm and humor in a very good way. He's also a big fan of Indiana Jones, which is great. So, he's also very involved in the game," commented Jerk Gustafsson, lead designer, and co-founder of MachineGames.
According to the EW report, Tony Todd, who played Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the supernatural being Candyman in the eponymous film saga, is also involved in the new Xbox project. Specifically, he will give life to a mysterious man known as Locus.
