We finally managed to find out what Microsoft and Bethesda have been doing to relive the adventures of the famous archaeologist. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is their design and has been coming with some fancy credentials ever since Todd Howard is the producer and MachineGames is the developer.

Maybe some got lost, so I remind you that Howard is the one producer of games of the caliber of Fallout 4 and Starfield, and that MachineGames is responsible for the saga Wolfenstein since New Order, which was precisely one of the best titles within the particular renaissance the franchise had.

The presentation of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle took place during the last Xbox Developer Direct, and the truth is that the video they showed during the event left a good taste in our mouths. First person camera allows us to truly put ourselves in the shoes of Henry Walton Jones Jr. Because it is a game developed for current generation of consoles and for PC, The graphic quality is also at a high level.

stands out above all the care that Bethesda has given in the restoration of monuments and historical places. For example, look at the scene where the sphinx and pyramids appear in Egypt, or the level of detail in the city when we jump to the plane fight scene. There is no doubt that the MachineGames team has done an excellent job.

Also I like character modelingmatches what we see in current generation games and the gameplay looks good as it stays true to the classic spirit of the movies where exploration, Indiana Jones’ whip and fists They were great protagonists.

If you’re worried about the historical fidelity of the movies, don’t worry, you have nothing to worry about. Game perfectly replicates the fictitious year 1937 albeit with very real details. We will be able to explore different countries and the narrative will take place in the events that happened before what we saw in the movie “The Last Crusade”.

At the moment we have no details on its possible release date, we only know that it will arrive later this year, but not when, and it is not clear what technologies the PC version will use. It looks like you could implement ray tracing and such it will support NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR. It will be exclusive to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC.
