Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb is a 2003 action-adventure video game developed by The Collective and published by LucasArts for the Xbox, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 and OS X. It features cover art by Drew Struzan. The game is an adventure of fictional archeologist Indiana Jones. The story takes place in 1935, acting as a prequel to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The tomb mentioned in the title is that of China's first Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

The game received a mixed reception from critics. It was praised for successfully capturing the spirit of the films, though criticism was given to the game's camera controls and graphical issues. In March 2015, the game was re-released digitally through GOG.com,[5] and in November 2018, the game was released through Steam.[6][7]
