Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: A New Adventure that Mixes Old-School Thrills with Modern Gameplay
Indiana Jones fans, get ready for a fresh and exciting adventure that blends classic elements with modern gaming innovations. "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle," developed by MachineGames and set to release this December for Xbox and PC, promises an exhilarating experience that will appeal to both long-time followers of the franchise and newcomers alike. The game is also slated for a PlayStation 5 release in Spring 2025, ensuring that players across platforms can dive into the world of everyone's favorite archaeologist.
In this new title, players are transported to 1937, right after the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark . As a younger Indiana Jones, voiced by Troy Baker—famous for his role as Joel in The Last of Us —you’ll embark on a globe-trotting mission to prevent the Nazis from obtaining powerful treasures. What sets this game apart is its focus on puzzle-solving, exploration, and good old-fashioned Nazi-punching, all while channeling the spirit of the original films. It’s not just about shooting your way out of trouble; instead, you’ll need to rely on your wits, whip, and fists to navigate through treacherous environments.

MachineGames, the developers behind this highly anticipated game, are no strangers to creating immersive, character-driven experiences. Known for their work on the Wolfenstein series, they’ve mastered the art of blending intense action with rich storytelling. However, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes a different approach by leaning more into the adventure and exploration aspects that are synonymous with the character of Indiana Jones. Drawing inspiration from the Vin Diesel-starring The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay , MachineGames has built a game that not only pays homage to classic Indy films but also brings something fresh to the table.
The game’s world is the largest that MachineGames has ever created, filled with secret areas, hidden keys, and ancient puzzles that will test your problem-solving skills. Unlike many other first-person titles, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle allows for a variety of playstyles. You can sneak past enemies, using disguises and clever tactics, or dive into combat when necessary. But be warned, guns are a last resort—using them can be as dangerous as facing your enemies unarmed.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the game is its emphasis on exploration. According to creative director Axel Torvenius, the game isn’t just about following a linear story path. There’s a wealth of content off the beaten track, including side missions and Easter eggs that reward those who take the time to explore. This approach makes the game appealing to both those who want to speed through the main narrative and those who wish to savor every moment of Indy’s adventure.
In terms of gameplay mechanics, the game will feature hand-to-hand combat that feels authentic to the Indiana Jones character, as well as puzzle-solving that involves using Indy’s journal and camera. The journal documents your journey and provides crucial clues, while the camera helps solve puzzles, although the exact mechanics of this haven’t been fully revealed.
With the recent struggles of the Indiana Jones film franchise, there’s been some skepticism about whether the character still holds the same appeal. However, with MachineGames’ track record and their clear passion for the project, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has all the makings of a hit. It’s a game that not only respects the legacy of Indiana Jones but also introduces innovative gameplay elements that could set a new standard for adventure games.
Mark your calendars for December 9th, when the game launches on Xbox and PC. For PlayStation 5 players, the wait will extend into Spring 2025. But no matter what platform you play on, one thing is certain: this is an adventure you won’t want to miss.
