A few years after it was first revealed, we finally have a glimpse at the Indiana Jones game from Bethesda studio and Wolfenstein developer MachineGames. It’s called Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and the gameplay reveal was shown during Microsoft’s Developer Direct event. It’s an action-adventure game that takes place in both first and third person, based on the scenario, and it’s set between the films Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with Bethesda boss Todd Howard serving as executive producer. It doesn’t have a release date, but Microsoft says it’s coming later in 2024 to Xbox and PC.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle :
And yes, there’s a lot of whip-based action.
The Indiana Jones game was first teased back in 2021, and last year came word that it would be exclusive to Xbox and PC.
The reveal comes as Lucasfilm has been partnering with a number of notable studios to bring its properties into the world of video games, especially when it comes to Star Wars. Titanfall studio Respawn has already made two games about Jedi, with more in the works; Ubisoft is working on an open-world game called Outlaws, which is set to launch this year; and Quantic Dream is working on the story-focused spinoff Eclipse. (Meanwhile, a remake of the classic RPG Knights of the Old Republic looks to be in trouble.)
