It’s been a long time coming, but MachineGames (the same folks behind Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus) and Bethesda have revealed their Indiana Jones game at the Xbox Developer Direct. Officially titled Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the first-person adventure game will be coming to Xbox and PC later this year. The game will use a likeness of Harrison Ford, with Troy Baker voicing Indy. And fresh from his stint as Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the game will also star Tony Todd.
Accompanying the reveal is a 13-minute trailer featuring gameplay for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which will take place between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
“Our game is about putting you in the shoes of an iconic hero,” says Design Director Jens Andersson. “Since we are doing this mostly in first-person, you have the chance to truly become Indy. First-person makes you part of this world – allowing you to explore and experience things more intimately. What will you do when you’re dropped into this adventure with your wits and your whip? The world of Indiana Jones is a world with mysteries around every corner, where you’re racing against the clock and outsmarting your enemies as you hunt down artifacts.”
“There are a lot of Indiana Jones fans at MachineGames. Most of us grew up with Indy and fell in love with the movies and the character when we were young. We’ve just got these ties to the character that go back decades,” agrees Game Director Jerk Gustafsson. “But even if you didn’t grow up with Indiana Jones, you know Indiana Jones. He’s a relatable type of hero and a true adventurer. That’s a legacy we want to share and be part of, and we want to build something interesting and genuine.”
