As part of theXbox Developer Direct Livestream, MachineGamesshowed offtheir upcomingIndiana Jonesproject,Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Most importantly, it involves Harrison Ford(‘s likeness) and punching Nazis. Two awesome things.
Actually, there’s probably everything you’d expect from anIndiana Jonesgame. There’s a whip, torches, the Wilhelm scream, a travel montage, a female sidekick, and ancient (but still functional) puzzles. Interestingly, it’s mostly done in the first person, except when you’re doing more agile activities or looking at Harrison Ford in a cutscene.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circletakes place betweenRaiders of the Lost ArkandThe Last Crusade. In it, Indy witnesses the theft of an artifact from the College he works at. He follows its trail and discovers that it’s central to a deeper mystery.
MachineGames is trying to capture the look, feel, and sound of anIndiana Jonesmovie, and I’m convinced. I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but Harrison Ford is in it. They promise that you’ll be able to enjoy it, even if you haven’t seen the movies. That’s good because I skipped that last two.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circleis coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC later this year.
