Get ready, gamers! One of the most iconic adventurers is back in action, and it’s happening sooner than you think. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, an epic collaboration between MachineGames and Lucasfilm Games, is hitting Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass on December 9, 2024. If you’re on PlayStation, you’ll have to wait until Spring 2025, but trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.
So what’s this all about? Well, it’s 1937 and Indiana Jones is diving into yet another wild mystery. This time, he’s crisscrossing the globe, from the freezing Himalayas to the ancient pyramids of Egypt. Oh, and there’s a brand-new sidekick in the mix—Gina! Together, they’re unraveling the secrets of some seriously spooky spiritual sites, all while dodging a nasty bunch of enemies who are chasing the same clues.
The Story Takes Place Between Classic Indy Films
For those who are hardcore fans of the films, here’s something cool: The Great Circle happens right after Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) but before Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). So, picture Harrison Ford’s Indy in his prime, but now in a video game where you control the action. Expect some epic chases, dangerous puzzles, and of course, that classic Indiana Jones sense of adventure.
Pre-Orders and Editions Galore!
Pre-orders are already live for Xbox, PC, and Game Pass, so if you’re hyped, now’s your chance to lock it in. PlayStation fans can wishlist the game and be ready when the Spring 2025 release rolls around. But here’s the kicker: those who pre-order the Premium Edition, Premium Upgrade, or Collector’s Edition get three days of early access, meaning you could be playing as soon as December 6.
For those of you looking for even more content, keep an eye out for the post-launch DLC that will dive deeper into the Great Circle storyline. Whether you’re grabbing the Standard Edition or going all out with the Collector’s Edition, there’s something for everyone.
Collector’s Edition: A Real Treasure
Speaking of the Collector’s Edition, this one’s packed with goodies. You get an 11-inch Great Circle globe with a hidden puzzle (super Indiana Jones, right?), a replica of the Allmaker Relic, an Adventure Journal, and a SteelBook® case. Plus, all the digital extras like early access, a digital art book, and even more in-game cosmetics.
And let’s not forget about the cosmetics! Everyone who pre-orders gets the Last Crusade Pack, which includes a snazzy Traveling Suit Outfit and a Lion Tamer Whip. The Premium editions also throw in some special content like the Temple of Doom Outfit and access to The Order of the Giants story DLC.
Wrap-Up
Mark your calendars for December 9, because Indiana Jones is back in a big way. Whether you’re diving into the adventure on Xbox, PC, or waiting for PlayStation, this game promises to be full of action, mystery, and the same heart-racing thrills we’ve come to expect from Indy’s adventures.
