We knew that Xbox and Bethesda were working on an Indiana Jones game. Not that they were going to show us numerous details about the game. They wanted to show everything they have prepared for us in one of their biggest bets for the near future, and we bring you exactly that: everything we know so far about Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. The Indiana Jones game that these two companies just showed at Developer_Direct 2024.
The key element is that it’s not just any Indiana Jones: it’s Harrison Ford. It’s the classic Indiana Jones. Any doubts about it have been eliminated. We have the Indiana Jones that we all know and love, with his classic look, and we won’t have to worry about it. As the cinematic trailer of the game has shown us.
Regarding gameplay, something they have emphasized is that it is a game where thinking before acting is very important. It is a game where they want us to feel like Indiana Jones, and that implies using our intelligence. That’s why it is expected that each situation has several ways to solve it, not necessarily only with fists, whip or guns. Regarding that, the game is in third person, but when we are not in combat, we will switch to a first-person camera to give greater emphasis to the action.
In addition, as it is Indiana Jones, they seek to give it a cinematic style. That means an emphasis on music and cinematics, which seek to resemble those of the movies. And give it a touch of adventure like those, taking us to scenarios like a lost temple, the desert or the Himalayas, among many others.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle will take place between Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and in addition to puzzles being a key part of the game, it will be released much earlier than we expected. It will be released in 2024. So, fans of Indiana Jones, Xbox, Bethesda, or any combination of the three, you’re in luck. It will be released on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC much sooner than we expected.
