Swedish video game developer MachineGames unveiled a sneak peek of its upcoming “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” game, during the Xbox Developer_Direct conference on January 18.
The game is set to release sometime later this year and will be available for platforms including Xbox Series X and Series S, as well as Windows PC with Game Pass.
Set between “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Last Crusade,” the single-player, first-person experience promises to immerse players in the world of Indiana Jones. Design Director Jens Andersson emphasized the game’s commitment to authenticity, with the majority of the gameplay being first-person, interspersed with occasional third-person moments for a more cinematic touch.
The narrative will span iconic locations, from the Vatican and Egyptian deserts to Sukhothai’s temples and the Himalayan peaks.
