Everything to Know About Indiana Jones and the Great Circle before its release

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Indiana Jones game, “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle“, has me thoroughly excited! The fact that it will be available on multiple platforms, including the much-anticipated PS5, is a testament to the game’s universal appeal.


2024 marks the long-awaited debut of the Indiana Jones game, where players will step into the shoes of one of cinema’s most iconic heroes. Traveling across continents, unraveling mysteries, and fending off adversaries are just a few of the adventures that await you. Recently, I had the privilege of attending an exclusive sneak peek event for the game, shortly before its Gamescom unveiling, and learned quite a bit about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Here’s everything you need to know about this hotly anticipated title.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release date revealed 

On December 9, 2024, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to launch for both Xbox and PC systems. However, one of the most surprising tidbits is that in spring 2025, this game will also become available on PS5. This announcement has left gamers speculating whether Xbox might be moving away from exclusive games or even considering an exit from the console market altogether. Additionally, The Great Circle will be accessible via Game Pass on its release day.

There’s lots of different play styles to choose from

One fantastic aspect of this game lies in the diverse collection of tools and weapons at Indiana Jones’ disposal. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of game; instead, different situations will demand different strategies. Some stages might involve high-octane action, complete with whip-cracking sequences. In contrast, others may necessitate stealthy maneuvers, and at times, you’ll need to don a disguise and employ persuasive dialogue to navigate tricky situations.

Jones will additionally feature a camera, allowing you to capture images of historic monuments or artifacts. Upon taking such a picture, you’ll receive information about its historical context and background. These brief history lessons and world-building insights will provide an enjoyable and engaging experience for players with a keen interest in history, or those seeking a brief respite from the main storyline.

The game is set in the official Indy timeline

The adventure game titled “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” unfolds within the established Indy timeline, with its developers confirming that it transpires in the year 1937. This timeframe positions the game between the narrative arcs of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade. Given that Temple of Doom is a prequel, it implies that this game’s storyline also follows after the events depicted in that movie.

The films “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade” significantly influenced the creation of the game. At a recent preview, the developers expressed that they drew inspiration from these movies’ aesthetic and atmosphere to design the game’s setting and Indy’s persona.

Two versions of the game are being released 

Upon its debut, there will be two distinct versions of the game made available. The standard edition, accessible via Game Pass, can be acquired for $69.99. Additionally, Xbox is currently offering a pre-order incentive: anyone who purchases the game receives “The Last Crusade Pack,” which includes the travel suit outfit and lion tamer whip, reminiscent of Indiana Jones’ adventures in The Last Crusade.

Additionally, there’ll be a Digital Premium Edition available for $99.99. This premium edition grants players three days of early access to the game, along with The Order of Giants DLC, an artbook, and Indy’s Temple of Doom outfit as bonus content.
