It would seem that Indiana Jones fans are in for a treat this year and beyond. Tabletop fans not only get this selection of new games to try out, but of course, the new movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is set to drop later this summer. MachineGames is also working on a new Indiana Jones video game, and while it remains to be seen when the first details drop, there's certainly plenty on the horizon for fans.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premieres in theaters on June 30.
