What Happened

In an interview with Eurogamer, voice actor Troy Baker discussed his role in the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 port of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and his broader career. During the conversation, Baker mentioned the potential of making 'the stories that I want to tell.' Fellow voice actor Abubakar Salim responded to discussions about Baker's potential studio creation with a public post on X stating 'Don't do it.' Separately, Surgent Studios released its co-op 'extraction platformer' FixForce into early access, where it has received 'positive' reviews on Steam. The studio has experienced financial struggles and downsizing.

Why this Matters to You

If you are a fan of narrative-driven games, Baker's stated ambition to pursue his own stories could lead to new and unique gaming experiences in the future. The positive reception for FixForce in early access suggests there may be a promising new co-op game available, though the developer's financial situation could affect its long-term support.

What's Next

The Indiana Jones and the Great Circle port for Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release next month. Baker's comments indicate he may be exploring new creative projects, though any specific plans remain unconfirmed. The development of FixForce will continue through its early access phase on Steam.

Perspectives

“
Industry Observers note that the current gaming landscape is a "ruthless space atm" and that "everyone seems to agree the games industry is a brutal space at the moment, no matter what your name and experience are."
“
Supporters encourage Baker to pursue his independent ambitions, with John 'Bucky' Buckley of Pocketpair advising him to "Do it" in response to the discussion.
“
Media Analysts highlight that Baker's comments about creating his own studio and game represent the "juiciest bits" of information available, while noting that public reaction remains "all over the place."
“
Skeptics suggest that warnings regarding the industry's volatility might simply be "light-hearted gallows humour" rather than expressions of genuine concern.
