It is one of the MicrosoftThe biggest games of the year and it’s almost here – Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is released on Sunday, December 8. It will be exclusive to Xbox and PC by some time in the spring of 2025 – when it will launch PS5 also.
First revealed in 2021, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was developed by MachineGames, the studio responsible for the Wolfenstein titles from 2014 onwards.
The predominantly first-person adventure is an original story that takes place between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade (The Temple of Doom is technically a prequel). Set in 1937, Indy will once again be roaming around the world punching many Nazis in the face, so that’s something to enjoy.
As for the titular ‘Great Circle’, MachineGames, Bethesda and Microsoft have kept it under wraps for now so as not to spoil the surprise, but the trailers suggest it has something to do with the curvature of the Earth and multiple locations connected by singular lines.
