Get ready to channel your inner Indiana Jones as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes its way to consoles in the near future. This highly anticipated title from MachineGames has been shrouded in mystery since its teaser announcement in 2021, but now we are starting to unravel the clues and get a better sense of what to expect. While there have been other successful games inspired by the Indiana Jones films, such as Uncharted and Tomb Raider, this will be the first true action-adventure game featuring the iconic character himself. Will it live up to the legacy of Indiana Jones? Only time will tell, but we can certainly speculate based on what we know so far.
Release Date
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to be released in 2024. Given the current slate of titles from first-party publishers and the limited amount of information released about this game, we anticipate it will likely arrive in the latter part of the year, although there is a possibility of a delay into the following year.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, developed by MachineGames and owned by Xbox, will be an Xbox console exclusive and will also be available on PC.

The game promises to deliver a thrilling and immersive experience as players navigate through the storyline.
Gameplay
It has been confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will primarily be a first-person game, with occasional third-person perspectives during cutscenes and traversal actions. Combat will involve melee fighting, use of the iconic whip, and firearm use, while platforming, exploration, and puzzle-solving will also be key elements of the game, promising an engaging and varied gameplay experience.
