Indiana Jones and the Great Circle comes at an interesting time, not just for video gamers but Indy himself. Seemingly at the end of the road for mainline Indiana Jones films, The Great Circle seeks to take the legend and mythos of Steven Spielberg’s original world-renowned action/adventure series into an exciting and bold new chapter. Indiana Jones is no stranger to video game representations, but what MachineGames has done with The Great Circle is impressive, with the studio crafting an adventure many fans are enjoying. With Indiana Jones and the Great Circle being a single-player-driven experience, players won’t find seasonal content updates and drops, but this hasn’t stopped developers from providing continued support for the game post-release.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle‘s December 17 update seeks to address a few key issues involving the game’s graphical fidelity and performance.

The Great Circle features a variety of equipable items, including Indy’s infamous whip, a revolver, and the camera, all of which help during combat and puzzles.
While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will not feature a seasonal approach to new content, that doesn’t mean there aren’t exciting new treasures and trinkets to look forward to. The Great Circle is set to receive a big slice of DLC content next year dubbed The Order of The Giants, likely expanding on the game’s main story and a cast of characters. Players can customize Indy as they wish in the main game, with more outfits and other pieces of equipment possibly coming to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in future updates as well.
