Next Indiana Jones Game Canned?

What has been in development Hell almost as long as the last script for Indy 4? The Next Gen Indiana Jones Game! Now, IGN is reporting that Indy may not be coming soon to a next gen gaming system near you! Though LucasArts will not confirm or deny the story here is what IGN is saying:
IGN has heard from multiple sources (both internally at LucasArts and elsewhere) involved in the long-in-development Indiana Jones title for Xbox 360 and PS3 that the game has been cancelled. Unofficially we've heard that developers are being reallocated to other projects and that the new Indiana Jones project that we last reported on in April 2006 is dead in the water.
If true, this should come as no real surprise as the game has gone dark for nearly the last three years, and with its total absence at last year's E3, this seemed like it was only a matter of time.
If it is indeed true, it is a sad day for Indy gamers -- Here's hoping LEGO Indy 2 is still alive and kicking!
UPDATE: Gaming site Joystiq has published a response from a LucasArts representative that sounds slightly more hopeful!
"LucasArts remains absolutely committed to the Indiana Jones franchise. While we are aware that fans have been eagerly awaiting additional information on the upcoming game, they can rest assured that details are forthcoming."
