After years of absence, the new Indiana Jones game is suddenly the next big thing from LucasArts, and will even grace the cover of next month’s Nintendo Power.

The studio has finally whipped out new details on the Staff of Kings after teasing us with their new trailer. The game will be released for the Wii, DS, PS2, and the PSP, and will be set in 1939 and will have Indy hunting the Staff of Moses.

The date is significant for two things: this is when World War II erupts in Europe, and this is when Indy isn’t an old guy yet like in the last movie so he won’t be wheezing every few steps. Good for Indy since he’ll be traveling everywhere from San Fran’s China town to the jungles of Panama.

The game will be puzzle-intensive as well as action-packed. The Wii version will have you handling the Wiimote as a whip and a gun, depending on the situation. It will also have four-man multiplayer. The DS version will of course make use of the stylus for control.
