Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb is an action video game developed by The Collective and published by LucasArts in 2003 featuring cover art by Drew Struzan. The game is a
new adventure of fictional archeologist Indiana Jones. The story is set in 1935, just before the events of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and is available for PlayStation 2, Xbox, Macintosh and Windows.
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb begins in the jungles of Ceylon, where Indiana Jones is searching for the idol of Kouru Watu. After retrieving the idol, Indy meets a Nazi named Albrecht Von Beck, who is attacked by a giant alligator, allowing Jones to escape. Back at school, Chinese officials Marshall Kai Ti Chan and his assistant Mei Ying inform Dr. Jones of the Heart of the Dragon, a black pearl buried with the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi. Mei Ying breaks open the Ceylon idol to find the first piece of the "Mirror of Dreams", an artifact that will help navigate through the Emperor's Tomb and reveal the entrance to Huangdi's crypt.
Indy flies to a castle in Prague to acquire the second piece of the mirror, only to be captured by Von Beck and his men. Jones wakes up in a cell in Istanbul when Mei Ying appears and frees him. He makes his way to the sunken palace of Belisarius to collect the final piece of the mirror. Mei Ying appears again and tells him that Kai is working with the Nazis to get the Mirror for himself and control the Heart of the Dragon. At the
Golden Lotus Opera House in Hong Kong, Mei Ying and Indy wait for Wu Han, a character from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. When Mei Ying is kidnapped by Kai's men, Indy and Wu Han chase them down to the dock, where they discover that they are heading to Kai's private island. Wu Han and Indy follow them in a junk.
