Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Has Lots of Optional Content, Allows Returning to Previous Areas

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the announcement of MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has me absolutely thrilled! The blend of first-person shooting, platforming, puzzle-solving, and melee combat sounds like a perfect recipe for an action-adventure game.


MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers a blend of first-person shooting, platforming, puzzle-solving, and hand-to-hand combat. Essentially, it’s an action-adventure game with elements that combine both linear progression and expansive open spaces. There are many hidden treasures and intriguing discoveries to be made, and the developers have confirmed that players can return to earlier locations.

During an interview with IGN at Gamescom, design director Jens Andersson mentioned that due to the open-ended nature of the game, they are considering replayability in a unique manner compared to series like Wolfenstein. In this title, players can return to previously visited locations to delve deeper into all the hidden content available.

Completing a thorough playthrough of this game means documenting every clue and snapshot Indy encounters along his journey, effectively experiencing all aspects of the game. This way, you’ll have fully explored its content and achieved a perfect completion status.

Andersson further explained that revisiting past locations in the game is comparable to having a “Chapter Select” option. This allows players to carry over any equipment and skills they’ve acquired along the way. Despite being called a “narrative break,” most of the content is considered “optional.”

“For those eager to delve into the heart of the story, the game offers a streamlined experience. However, for those seeking a comprehensive adventure, there’s an abundance of content to discover, making this a sprawling game.”

On December 9th, the game titled “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” will become available on PC and Xbox Series X/S. Owners of Premium or Collector’s Editions can get an early start, enjoying three days ahead of the general release. In addition, the game is scheduled for a Spring 2025 launch on PS5. For those eagerly awaiting further information, details will be unveiled during today’s Xbox @ Gamescom 2024 livestream at 6 AM PST. Keep an eye out for updates!
