The Indiana Jones movies may be over, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle may have more than enough content to satisfy fans of the films. According to MachineGames, the upcoming title will have nearly four hours of cut scenes, which is almost the length of two Indiana Jones movies.
MachineGames’ creative director Axel Torvenius was a guest on the MinnMax YouTube channel, and he revealed that The Great Circle has “a lot” of cut scenes that when combined run “roughly three hours and 45 or 40 minutes or something along those lines.” He added that it is “the biggest and longest game that MachineGames have ever done.”
Torvenius also indicated that the story of The Great Circle is largely unchanged from the outline that Bethesda director Todd Howard pitched to George Lucas in 2009, three years before Disney purchased Lucasfilm. Additionally, Torvenius stated that The Great Circle won’t have instant fails during stealth missions, which is something that another game based on a Lucasfilm property, Star Wars Outlaws, only recently fixed with a new patch.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will arrive on Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 9. PlayStation 5 owners won’t be left out, but they will have to wait until Spring 2025 to play the game. However, players of all consoles and computers can enjoy an Indiana Jones-themed menu that is currently available in IHOP’s International Bank of Pancakes restaurants across the country.
