Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Has Over Three Hours of Cinematics

We haven’t had an unequivocally good Indiana Jones movie in decades, so the skepticism surrounding anything new Indiana Jones is not hard to understand, but MachineGames and Bethesda’s upcoming action-adventure title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is very much looking like it may break that curse. In fact, if you’re looking for a proper cinematic Indiana Jones experience, the game may very well end up delivering that, based on how much of it is just cutscenes.

Bethesda has revealed to Rolling Stone that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has over three hours of cutscenes, which means we’ll be getting plenty of scripted, cinematic Indy action (which hopefully will be better than what we’ve seen from its silver screen outings in the last couple of decades).

Interestingly enough, that’s a similar amount of in-game cinematics to MachineGames’ last major flagship release, 2017’s Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus– though it remains to be seen how long the full game is going to be overall.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches on December 9 for Xbox Series X/S and PC, and for PS5 sometime in Spring 2025. The game is targeting 60 FPS on both Xbox consoles, MachineGames has said.
