Tune in the watch The Game Awards 2022 via the YouTube stream embedded below. It kicks off on 8 December at 7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT and 9 December at 00:30 GMT.
Bethesda's Todd Howard recently said in a podcast how the new Indiana Jones game is a mix of genres, not wanting to go into specifics: "I will just say it's a mash-up. It's unique. It isn't one thing, intentionally, so it does a lot of different things that I and the folks at Machine Games have wanted to do in a game. So it's a unique thing."
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Release Date Speculation
At the time of writing, there is no official confirmed release date for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Still, we do have confirmation that it will be released in 2024 and is currently available to wishlist on Xbox Platforms and PC, and if any specific 2024 date is announced, we will update this listing accordingly.
Even without an official release date, we expect the developers and Xbox to hold up their end for a 2024 release since the trailer shows so much. In it, we see beautiful visuals, varied puzzle designs, and combat which is authentic to how we've always seen the character portrayed in the films, so with all this work already done, we don't expect any delays (fingers crossed).
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle- Trailer And Content
The trailer for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle showcases much of what we can expect from the game once it is released, from cinematics to the new first-person perspective through which we'll be playing the game, to the combat mechanics and weapons featured. This marks a departure from the older games in the series and promises to immerse players in the shoes of Indiana himself, allowing them to take on the role of the legendary archaeologist.
Regarding the setting and content we can anticipate, the game unfolds between the events of the Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade movies, presenting an original adventure set in 1937. The game commences at the iconic Marshall College, and after a theft here propels the narrative forward, players find themselves in a race against sinister forces across various locations worldwide – from the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the arid deserts of Egypt to the lush and sunken temples of Sukhothai and the frigid peaks of the Himalayas, among other adventurous settings.
As mentioned earlier, the game adopts a first-person perspective, providing players with a front-row seat to the action (such as punching Nazis in the face) and a clear view when utilizing Indiana's iconic whip. The trailer showcases the whip being used for distraction, disarming enemies, and environmental traversal. Though briefly glimpsed, the trailer also reveals Indiana using an older handgun, and while details are scant, it hints at the possibility of Indiana employing more than just a handgun during gameplay.
In between the fighting and action sequences, players will explore new and diverse locations never before seen in the franchise. As they do so, they'll solve puzzles, traverse obstacles, and uncover secrets, possibly shedding light on the Great Circle – a ring of historic sites forming a perfect circle around the world. Currently, information about the game's content, such as boss fights, cosmetics, combat/upgrade trees, etc., remains limited. Rest assured, as soon as more details emerge, this section will be updated accordingly.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle- Platforms
Microsoft acquired Bethesda Game Studios in 2020, with the acquisition being made final on the 9th of March 2021. And when it comes to any company that Microsoft owns, they keep things quite close to the chest, and Bethesda games are no different.
The Xbox Series X/S and PC are now the only platforms for Bethesda's upcoming games as of the completion of this acquisition. Naturally, Indiana Jones has done the same, meaning that it won't be possible for anyone to play this game on any other console, such as the PS5.
