I see Indiana Jones getting delayed to like February or March probably. Would be odd to see Holiday packed with Black Ops in October, Avowed and Flight Sim in November, and the Indiana Jones in December missing the crucial Black Friday week, plus 3rd party Xbox marketing deals on AC in November and possibly Dragon Age still releasing Holiday 2024 as well.

That's another good reason I forget: crowded market against some of the biggest names whereas Indy's popularity has been continually waning.

Yeah, there are quite a few other big releases in the Holiday quarter, in addition to the ones I listed, across various platforms. October has games like Silent Hill 2 remake, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, Metaphor ReFantazio, Starship Troopers, New World's console port, Sonic X Shadow Generations, and Life Is Strange: Double Exposure in addition to CoD from Activision. November has Slitterhead and AC Shadows in addition to Flight Sim and possibly Avowed from Xbox. December has Lego Horizon. And there are tons of TBA Q3/Q4 and TBA Q4 games still to be dated. Q4 might be too busy for Indiana Jones, especially since Xbox already has games for October and November, December just isn't the ideal release month for AAA games, some like Cyberpunk, Far Cry 3, and Just Cause 3 have made December work over the years, but more often than not AAA's released in December have underperformed, presumably due to gamers blowing all of their extra spending money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, and general Christmas shopping taking precedence.
