Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Finally Gets a Release Date for Xbox…and PlayStation | gamescom 2024 [IGN]

As part of Xbox’s Gamescom 2024 announcements, the company confirmed Indiana Jones would be released before the end of 2024. Reports of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s release date first surfaced in May when The Verge reported the project was targeting a December release window.

Alongside a release date, Xbox and MachineGames have provided a new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The trailer, narrated by Troy Baker, discusses his feelings on stepping into the boots of Indiana Jones.

More interestingly, the latest trailer revealed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5, despite Xbox head Phil Spencer previously insisting that MachineGames’ next project would remain an Xbox console exclusive. The move is part of Xbox’s broader initiative that some of its first-party games would make its way onto other platforms, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Grounded, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Hi-Fi Rush.

Set between the events of Indiana Jones’s films Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Last Crusade; players control the titular character on another globetrotting adventure to uncover the secret to an ancient power connected to the Great Circle.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set in a first-person perspective. More interestingly, voice actor Troy Baker has been cast to voice Indiana Jones in the game. In the film, Indiana Jones is portrayed by actor Harrison Ford.

The project was first announced in January 2021, when it was revealed that MachineGames, in collaboration with LucasFilm, was working on a video game based on Indiana Jones. Todd Howard, a key employee at MachineGames’ sister studio, Bethesda Game Studios, serves as the game’s executive producer.
