Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Devs Accessed Special Archive To Create Authentic Adventure

As a seasoned gamer with over three decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel the rush of nostalgia as I eagerly anticipate the release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Having grown up with the original trilogy, I can attest to the iconic status of this character, and the prospect of a new adventure is nothing short of exhilarating.


MachineGames, known for creating the Wolfenstein series, will breathe life into the iconic figure of Indiana Jones in the upcoming December release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. To ensure an authentic experience for fans, the developer has been collaborating extensively with Lucasfilm Games, utilizing a partnership that provides access to undisclosed Indiana Jones content and tapping into the expertise of industry professionals.

Each week, I’ve been privy to insightful discussions with the creative minds at Lucasfilm, as shared by our creative director Axel Torvenius in an interview with The Guardian. From the intricate details of audio and design, to crafting a compelling narrative, refining art, they’ve been an indispensable resource. They are, after all, the authorities on Indiana Jones and all its associated lore. We’ve also been granted exclusive access to their archive, a treasure trove of truly ancient and rare material – early concept art from Raiders, scarcely seen photos straight from the sets themselves.

A year after the events depicted in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the story of The Great Circle aspires to capture the essence of a thrilling worldwide journey. Expect intriguing puzzles, exotic destinations to explore, and encounters with Nazi adversaries. Troy Baker, known for his work in The Last of Us, voices the protagonist in this adaptation, earning high praise from Torvenius for successfully embodying Harrison Ford’s character.

If you’re seeking an intellectually stimulating experience, Jens Andersson, the design director, mentioned that some of the game’s puzzles draw inspiration from the classic LucasArts adventure games. “Perhaps around the bend, you stumble upon a mystery,” Andersson explained. “We encourage you to unravel it, and there are rewards for doing so.” He went on to say that these optional challenges and missions might even be more difficult.

At the Gamescom Opening Night Live event, it was announced that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on December 9 for both PC and Xbox Series X|S systems. Furthermore, the PlayStation 5 edition is scheduled to come out in Spring 2025.
