Are Great Circle's Choices Canon Indiana Jones Devs Reveal All

The upcoming game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, aims to deliver a new take on the beloved character while still maintaining the adventurous spirit that fans adore. MachineGames, known for their work on the Wolfenstein series, is developing this first-person adventure which emphasizes stealth, puzzle-solving, and immersive storytelling over traditional action scenes. Rather than focusing on adrenaline-pumping sequences, players will navigate iconic locations, such as the Pyramids of Giza, using Indy's intelligence and charm. Scheduled for a December 9 release on Xbox and PC, with a PS5 version anticipated for spring 2025, the game promises to offer both aesthetic and narrative depth while being accessible to both seasoned fans and newcomers. The developers express their commitment to crafting an authentic Indiana Jones experience without confirming if the storyline fits into the existing canon.

While the developers have not officially confirmed the game's canon status, they emphasize that it will feature an authentically told story that fits well within the existing Indiana Jones narrative.

Indiana Jones, a cultural icon, first appeared in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark and has since been featured in multiple sequels, television shows, and video games. Each entry in the franchise showcases Indiana's globetrotting adventures as an archaeologist and adventurer fighting against adversaries in pursuit of ancient artifacts. The franchise is celebrated not only for its thrilling action sequences but also for its rich storytelling and character-driven narratives, which the developers aim to honor in this new installment.
