Bethesda has released an exciting and adventurous cinematic trailer for its upcoming game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
This is a first-person title that is set during the classic era of Indy, with an original story set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
The year is 1937, “sinister forces are scouring the globe for the secret to an ancient power connected to the Great Circle, and only one person can stop them – Indiana Jones.”
In the trailer, we see Indy captured while looking for a mysterious artifact, and it looks like it tells a classic Indiana Jones story! I’m excited about playing it! This looks like it will be a better story than the last move that was released.
The game comes from developer MachineGames, and it will allow players to choose their own path through enemy encounters, whether they want to go play in stealth mode or run around guns blazing and whips snapping.
The game will also feature lots of puzzles, but many of them will be optional and off the beaten path. It’s also revealed that the action will move to a third-person perspective as you watch Indy.
Director Todd Howard has been trying to get this made for over a decade. During a previous interview, he explained: “I am a giant Indiana Jones fan. It can be brought to video games in a unique way. The game is obviously: you’re exploring stuff. It’s about him. So if you’re playing the game, how do you feel that you are indeed playing versus just watching? […] We’ll talk next year.”
Bethesda’s head of publishing, Pete Hines, previously discussed the project, saying: “Todd might be the biggest Indiana Jones fan on the planet. I’m not exaggerating even a little.
“Anyone who has seen the pitch has immediately said, ‘oh my god, I have to play that game right now.’ It’s going to be amazing and we think reaction to the announcement is going to be terrific.”
The game is set top be released sometime this year in 2024, and I’m excited to play it! Check out the trailer and let us know what you think!
