Playing Indiana Jones: A Quick Guide

The Adventure Begins: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Indiana Jones is back in action, and this time, you won’t just watch him on the big screen. Get ready to dive into his latest digital escapade before anyone else. While his whip and fedora have become symbols of cinematic legend, they now extend their reach into the vibrant realm of video games. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle promises to be a game-changer. Lucky for hungry adventurers, you can get a head start on the journey before its official release on December 9th.

A New Chapter in a Storied Franchise

MachineGames, famed for their work on Wolfenstein, takes the reins of this ambitious project. The storyline emerges from the mind of Todd Howard, renowned for his efforts on Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Howard has crafted a fresh narrative that slots perfectly into Indiana’s timeline, following his last crusade in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Collaborating closely with cinematic giants Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, this game’s pedigree is immaculate.

In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, players will join Indy in another globe-trotting adventure. Voiced by Troy Baker, our hero ventures into a mystery centered around the Great Circle. This enigma involves a sequence of mystical sites forming a perfect circle on the map. Naturally, Nazis and other villains aim to seize any artifacts and power hidden within these sites. This game is a major Xbox release but will swing its way onto PS5 by spring.
