Key Takeaways
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be MachineGames’ largest and longest game to date.
- The studio is most well known for its modernized take on the legendary Wolfenstein franchise.
- The game will be released for PC and Xbox Series X/S on December 9, with a PlayStation 5 release planned for early 2025.
Ahead of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle‘s release in December, developer MachineGames revealed the game would be quite lengthy, coming in substantially longer than the studio’s previous projects. The studio calls Indiana Jones and the Great Circle the largest and longest game the studio has worked on “by far,” which will likely come as good news for those itching to become immersed in the world of Indiana Jones later this year.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle marks an interesting point in time for the iconic Indiana Jones franchise as a whole, not only marking the first “Indy” game to hit store shelves in years but coming off the heels of what is presumably the final mainline Indiana Jones film to feature Harrison Ford. It’s hard to deny the series has a lot of potential in the hands of The Walt Disney Company, with rumors of an original Disney+ series floating around since 2023. However, fans will soon be able to step into the world of Indiana Jones themselves with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, with developers recently confirming the upcoming game will pack quite a punch in terms of overall length.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Won’t Feel Complete Without One Gimmick
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is embracing the franchise’s unique identity at every turn, but there’s one reference it shouldn’t avoid making.
In a new interview with MinnMax, MachineGames confirmed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the studio’s longest project to date. The Great Circle is “by far the biggest and longest game” it has ever created, said MachineGames, something that should excite fans of the team’s previous work.

The studio released Wolfenstein: The New Order in 2014, essentially rebooting the classic FPS brand with modern-day consoles and players both in mind. Since then, MachineGames has released several more Wolfenstein-based projects and spin-offs, like Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Wolfenstein: Young Blood.

No exact details were shared by MachineGames regarding the length of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but the studio’s most recent game, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, included roughly 12 hours of gameplay for the main story, not including side missions and collectibles. Given Indiana Jones and the Great Circle‘s setting and main character, players can likely expect to face numerous puzzles, challenges, and additional side content that helps boost the game’s overall length.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle officially releases on December 9, 2024, and will be offered as part of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, granting Xbox and PC players access to hundreds of games.
