Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Release Date Set, PS5 Version Confirmed

As an avid gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has piqued my interest like no other game in recent memory. The fusion of the classic Indy franchise with the immersive first-person perspective of MachineGames’ Wolfenstein series is a match made in gaming heaven.


In contrast to their usual style in the Wolfenstein series, MachineGames is venturing into something different with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Instead of focusing on bloodshed, this game emphasizes investigation and exploration – themes fitting for Indiana Jones. During Gamescom Opening Night Live, we gained insights into where Indy will be traversing, as well as some of his useful equipment. Additionally, they announced that the game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass starting December 9, 2024, with a PS5 release slated for Spring 2025.

As Indiana Jones, instead of confining my adventures to one location for the purpose of filling up a museum, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will whisk me off to diverse locales. These encompass the Vatican, the Himalayas, and Sukhothai temples. However, unlike my usual strolls into these places wearing my signature fedora with nonchalance, expecting no one to bat an eye, this time around I’ll need to employ a variety of disguises. For instance, I might don the attire of a priest to sneak around in the Vatican, making perfect sense given the situation. MachineGames is placing a strong emphasis on stealthy, methodical gameplay in this adventure.

As a devoted fan of Wolfenstein, I must confess that the tactics in this game will be slightly different when it comes to handling my adversaries. Instead of relying solely on lethal force, I can employ creative strategies like tossing objects such as hammers or shovels to divert enemies, just like in old-school gaming. But what truly sets this apart is the opportunity to use Indy’s whip for some ingenious takedowns. If I spot a metal barrel and fancy yanking a Nazi straight into it, I can do exactly that!

With his reliable whip by his side, Indiana Jones carries a versatile camera useful for gathering historical insights about locations as well as uncovering hints on how to proceed. Leveraging these hints is essential for solving puzzles, which you’ll find scattered throughout the environment or within Indy’s journal. Although a pen may not be more powerful than a sword, it can certainly prove more useful.
