Indiana Jones fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of a new video game in the franchise, and the wait is finally over. Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is set to launch on December 9, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S and PC. Players can also gain early access by purchasing the Premium Edition. The game will be available on Game Pass from day one. The story is set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, with Indiana Jones embarking on a globetrotting adventure in 1937. He will face off against Nazis while reuniting with old friends and teaming up with new allies. The game’s director hinted at a mysterious concept called “the Great Circle,” which connects historical sites and serves as the perfect adventure for the game. Players can expect to explore various locations, including the Vatican, Egypt, Sukhothai, and the Himalayas. The game promises an authentic adventure, as the developers worked closely with Lucasfilm Games to draw from an archive of unseen Indiana Jones material. Gameplay will primarily be in first-person, allowing players to truly embody Indy’s character. However, there will be moments of third-person gameplay as well. Players can engage in combat or take a stealthier approach, with optional puzzles to solve along the way. The game aims to run at 60fps on Xbox Series X|S, ensuring a smooth experience for players. While the in-game character model of Indiana Jones resembles Harrison Ford, the iconic actor will not voice the character. Instead, Troy Baker will bring the character to life. Additionally, horror movie icon Tony Todd will lend his voice to a mysterious character in the game. Overall, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle seems to strike the right balance between action, adventure, and puzzle-solving, promising an exciting and authentic experience for fans of the franchise.
