Anyone who has harbored dreams of being an explorer, with a childhood ambition inspired by Indiana Jones, has eagerly awaited any information about the next Indy game. Finally, the official gameplay footage for “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” has been unveiled.
Debuted during the Xbox Developer Direct 2024, the first look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle spans just over three minutes. The gameplay reveal trailer kicks off by depicting a young Indy trapped in a hole in Africa among Nazis.
The gameplay then transitions to Indiana navigating through various lush levels, exploring underground tombs, and navigating areas teeming with enemies. As expected, the trailer showcases Indy solving puzzles and employing stealth to outmaneuver adversaries. However, the standout moment comes when Indiana deploys his whip to eliminate foes and swing across different locations.
The game offers a first-person perspective, aiming to elevate the level of realism and adventure, providing players with the opportunity to “truly become Indy,” as emphasized by MachineGames and Bethesda.
Set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, the narrative revolves around Indiana Jones embarking on another thrilling quest for artifacts. The goal is to uncover the connections between various wonders and solve a compelling mystery. According to the official Bethesda blog, players will traverse diverse locations, including the Vatican, Egypt, sunken temples, and the Himalayas, as they follow Indy’s journey.
In addition to Indiana Jones, two other characters have been introduced: the mastermind villain, Emmerich Voss, and a reporter named Gina, assisting the protagonist. The character of Indiana Jones is modeled after a young Harrison Ford. Notably, the beloved Troy Baker provides the voice for the protagonist, adding an extra layer of excitement.
While the anticipation for this unique gaming experience is palpable, it’s essential to highlight that this collaboration is not the first for Lucasfilm. The studio has previously partnered on games, including titles from the Star Wars franchise developed by Respawn. However, the involvement of Bethesda boss Todd Howard in this project adds an intriguing dimension to the collaboration.

Unfortunately, the developers and publishers have not provided an exact release date for the upcoming Indiana Jones game. However, the gameplay trailer mentions a 2024 release, and there is a promise that the game will be launched ‘before the new year,‘ bringing a sense of anticipation.
Upon release, the game will be available for PC and Xbox consoles. Initially intended for PS5, plans have changed due to Xbox’s acquisition of ZeniMax Media.
