Overview
- Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings has been newly added to the PS Plus Premium catalog, complete with a comprehensive trophy list for players.
- The PS Plus Premium classics lineup has made significant improvements by incorporating trophy support into many older titles that originally lacked this feature.
- Featuring a total of 21 trophies on PS4 and PS5, most challenges in Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings seem relatively manageable for players aiming for completion.
The retro title Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is officially available on PS Plus Premium, now offering an inviting trophy list that appeals to avid completionists. This relatively obscure PS2 game made its debut in the classics catalog earlier this week, promising excitement for trophy hunters.
Over the past year, PS Plus Premium has notably enhanced its classics offerings, primarily due to the introduction of an upgraded PS2 emulator. This advancement has allowed classic titles from PS1, PSP, and PS2 to gain exciting new features including rewind options, save states, improved resolutions and frame rates, video filters, and—crucially—trophy support, catering specifically to those who thrive on obtaining platinum trophies. Although some classics receive trophy lists only after their initial launch, updates typically provide these incentives for players at a later time.
The inclusion of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings in the January 2025 lineup was both unexpected and timely. Originally slated for release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2003, the game faced extensive developmental hurdles, ultimately leading to its cancellation. In a bid to recover its investment, LucasArts released the game on the PS2, PSP, Wii, and DS in 2009, with each version featuring distinct gameplay and narrative elements.
Despite its tumultuous journey, trophy hunters will be pleased to discover that Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings features 21 trophies, including a platinum trophy, available on both PS4 and PS5. The trophy requirements appear straightforward; however, those pursing platinum status should remain vigilant regarding the artifact trophies, as they can be easily overlooked. Overall, the game seems to offer a relatively low difficulty for obtaining the platinum trophy.
The timing of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings’ addition appears strategic, coinciding with the anticipated PS5 release of MachineGames’ title, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, set for spring 2025. Fans of Indiana Jones games can enjoy revisiting Staff of Kings while preparing for the upcoming adventure, potentially even achieving a platinum trophy in the process.
