Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to Receive “New Look” at Gamescom Opening Night Live

Gamescom Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley has confirmed that MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will receive a “new look” at the showcase. What that means remains to be seen, but after rumors of a December launch, there could be a release date announcement.

Based on the legendary film series (minus everything after The Last Crusade), the Great Circle takes place in 1937. Archaeologist/adventurer Indiana Jones becomes embroiled in the titular mystery, spanning locations around the globe like Egypt, Thailand, and the Himalayas. A confrontation at the latter was revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase this past June.

Despite some third-person cutscenes, this is actually a first-person title. Players will sneak around, utilize Indy’s signature whip, and solve puzzles (including some optional). Despite the cinematic presentation, it has a less scripted feel and emphasizes player choice.

Check out our feature for more details. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches later this year for Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Watch @gamescom Opening Night Live for a new look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Tuesday, August 20.
