It’s no surprise then that Traveller’s Tales, the company behind the whole Lego franchise are returning to the Indy series, this time in Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.
Including an updated version of the first game, Lego Indy 2 will also include a section dedicated to the most recent film, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The other extra content has been revealed to be a level editor, which should tie into the creation aspect of the building blocks in question very nicely.
Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is set for release in the Fall on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, so no matter where your console allegiances lie, you’ll be able to get even more Lego Indiana Jones with the game.
