Computer And Video Games.com reported that a new Indiana Jones game may be heading to next-gen consoles and could feature characters drawn from across the popular tomb-raiding movie series. That according to questions posed by a market research survey. (Could it be this online survey from past December?)

The survey, sent anonymously to people around the world who have signed up to take part in online market research, refers specifically to a new Indiana Jones videogame and asks questions like 'Who are your favorite characters from the Indiana Jones movies?'.

Interestingly, the survey also asks questions about the James Bond movies including inquiries about favorite films and characters. This could suggest that plans are being made to draw together characters and plotlines from all three Indiana Jones movies (and also the Young Indiana Jones TV series, which is also mentioned in the survey) to create an anachronistic Indy masterpiece, echoing the way EA's GoldenEye: Rogue Agent brought together some of the greatest Bond characters of all time (though in a good way obviously).

The survey also posed questions about the Tomb Raider series, first next-gen details of which we brought you yesterday, asking how well-known the brand is and collecting opinions about the gameplay style. In addition, the survey asked what kind of genre a new Indiana Jones game should adhere to, offering choices as varied as RPG, shooter, and even a Microsoft Flight Simulator-style game. Is this evidence that a new Indiana Jones game could turn its back on traditional third-person adventuring and adopt a new gameplay style?

Very interesting news as LucasArts' president Jim Ward recently spoke of plans to "reinvigorate the Indiana Jones IP".
