Lucasarts may have bailed on their big fancy next-gen Indiana Jones game, but they're promising a new Indy game for the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and Playstation 2 (?)(!) called Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. A new trailer shows platform-independent cinematics of an Indy who looks about thirty years old and not played by Harrison Ford. He punches, jumps, climbs, crawls, and gets tossed through various dimensional portals in a variety of abrupt edits that play like a John Williams scored Indy verion of that Grand Theft Auto IV trailer of Nikko strolling nonchalantly from setting to setting. Somewhere along the way he seems to get a Golden Globe Award.

The release is listed as Spring 2009, which is awfully soon and seems to give lie to the rumors of the game being outright canceled. Maybe it was just never meant for next-gen platforms? Still, the Playstation 2? Really?
