Through the first three Indiana Jones movie, Dr. Henry Jones Jr. never met a Nazi he didn’t want to punch in the face. Indy’s had rivals in each of his cinematic adventures, and that’s a tradition that continues in Bethesda and MachineGames’ upcoming title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This time, Indy’s primary enemy is Emmerich Voss, and he presents himself as a far more reasonable man than some of Dr. Jones’ past foes. But a reasonable Nazi is still a Nazi, and he has to be stopped.
The trailer features a few face-to-face encounters between Indy and Voss, including what may be their first encounter. Judging from their interplay here, Voss may not be much of a physical threat for Indy, but his intellect makes him dangerous. Voss was on the trail of the Great Circle before Indy, and he may still find its secrets if Indy can’t discover them first.
One of the trailer’s notable settings is the Vatican, which sends Indy into the Catholic church’s city state during his search for answers. That’s where he meets reporter Gina Lombardi, the game’s primary heroine. Gina may be disguised as a nun, but she’s no saint. Her agenda differs from Indy’s in that she’s less interested in his archeological find, and more focused on locating her missing sister.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will arrive on Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 9, and it will be on Game Pass on day one. PC players also have the option of trying out the title for only a $1 via a PC Game Pass trial. PlayStation 5 owners will have to wait until Spring 2025. This game will be one of Indy’s biggest adventures to date, with nearly four hours of cutscenes.
