A lot of kids in the 80s wanted to become intrepid archaeologists thanks to the Indiana Jones movies. National Geographic and Imangi Studios hope to rekindle this hope among young would-be tomb raiders with the simultaneous release of new Temple Run 2 content and the book Temple Run: Race Through Time To Unlock Secrets Of The Ancient Worlds.

Temple Run: Race Through Time To Unlock Secrets Of The Ancient Worlds introduces the new character Maria Selva, a snazzy archaeologist with Rogue-like (the X-man, no Diablo III connection) hair. Maria will also be playable in the endless runner for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
"The goal of this partnership is to get students excited about reading and learning," said Walter Devins, director of licensing at Imangi Studios. "Teaming up with National Geographic is an amazing way to let our fans discover some of the awe-inspiring locations throughout the world that have influenced Temple Run."
