FIRST LOOK: Get an Early Preview of ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’
Gamers and Indiana Jones fans are counting down the days to the highly anticipated release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This first-person adventure drops in less than a month!
The latest game, set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, was developed by MachineGames in close partnership with Lucasfilm Games and lets players experience thrilling moments as the iconic archaeologist.
Disney Parks recently shared a first look into this exciting new adventure. (WARNING: Spoilers ahead.)
The Story Begins…
The story begins in 1937 at Marshall College, with Indy awoken by a break-in. It’s here that players get their first taste of exploration and puzzle-solving, essential parts of the game that make first-person gameplay a perfect fit.

Note that every room has something to uncover, from relics to notes and collectibles and more. Fans can even spot an easter egg early on!
Details are everything, so players should examine each item and note dialogue closely—hints to solving puzzles often come from character conversations.

At this point, gamers reconnect with Dr. Marcus Brody to pack for the first mission, including picking up Indy’s iconic whip.
Next Stop-The Vatican
The next stop is the Vatican to meet with a new contact! This part of the game demands stealth as players navigate narrow streets, rooftops, and hidden corners utilizing hand-to-hand combat.
Players are rewarded as you explore in scavenged through various buildings. You may come across items that unlock a new path and rewards, as well as collecting adventure books that offer new abilities and skills.
Combat is fully interactive, with the left and right triggers representing each fist for punches. A longer press creates a strong attack.
And don’t forget Indy’s trusty whip! Whip combat is a key tool with its own dedicated button, and the best part? It looks as real as it does in the movies.
Exploring Gizeh
One of the most striking areas in the game is Gizeh, where players navigate bustling markets, meet characters, and more!

This open map feels vast, looks alive, and shows off the game’s scale.
It’s also here that players meet Gina Lombardi, an Italian journalist searching for her sister, who provides essential guidance.

Players can explore at their own pace, taking photos with Indy’s camera to document essential items, landmarks, and clues that earn Adventure Points. These points help unlock new skills and upgrades.
Voice Actor and Theme Music
The spirit of Indiana Jones is perfectly captured by voice actor Troy Baker, who brings Indy to life, and composer Gordy Haab, who scores the game’s soundtrack (inspired by John Williams’ classic themes).
Disney
These details make the game feel immersive and authentic.
Coming Soon
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to experience the latest game. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on December 9, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S and PC, with a PlayStation 5 release set for Spring 2025.
