The year is 1937, sinister forces are scouring the globe for the secret to an ancient power connected to the Great Circle, and only one person can stop them - Indiana Jones.
You’ll become the legendary archaeologist in this cinematic action-adventure game.
Set between “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Last Crusade”, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is a first-person, single-player adventure that will take you all over the world, uncovering clues and solving an ancient mystery. Become the adventurer in a race against sinister forces.
Your journeys will take you from the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the arid deserts of Egypt to the lush and sunken temples of Sukhothai and the frigid peaks of the Himalayas.
A “great circle” is any circle that divides a sphere in half. On Earth, the most well-known one is obviously the equator. But they can exist from any point really, and are used heavily in aviation when plotting your course. It turns out there is a very real and mysterious great circle that is not the equator, but one that connects many of history’s greatest historical sites such as Giza, Easter Island, Sukhothai, Nazca, and many more. Their connection has remained a mystery, and this provides the perfect adventure for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
On April 17, MachineGames, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, will launch the critically acclaimed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 consoles.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been visually optimized for the PlayStation 5 Pro. In tandem with the PlayStation 5 launch, players can look forward to new whip abilities, Open Season and Sleight of Hand. With “Open Season,” whip-cracking an enemy will temporarily cause them to take more damage from subsequent attacks, while when using “Sleight of Hand,” players can disarm an enemy and cause their weapon to fly Indy’s way. These new abilities will be available across all platforms by April 15.
Digital pre-orders are now available for PS5 consoles. Please check your local retailer for more information on physical pre-order availability.
Pre-order options include:
- Standard Edition – Digital + Physical
- Premium Edition – Digital + Physical
- Collector’s Bundle – Physical only
With all pre-orders, players will receive The Last Crusade Pack, that provides the Traveling Suit Outfit and the Lion Tamer Whip. The Premium edition will have access to the upcoming story DLC, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle: The Order of Giants which will be available later this year, in addition to the Temple of Doom Outfit, and a digital-art book. The digital Premium Upgrade edition, which enjoys all the perks above, will be available for purchase on April 17 for those with the base game. The digital and physical Premium Editions, along with the Collector's Bundle, include two days of early access starting on April 15.
The Collector’s Bundle features an 11” Great Circle globe, with a puzzle mechanic that unlocks a hidden storage compartment when solved. The bundle also includes an Allmaker Relic replica, Adventure Journal, and Jumbo SteelBook® display case, in addition to the digital content mentioned above.
From their approach to crafting unique and believable stories and characters, to their over-the-top and unforgettable set pieces, MachineGames is the perfect studio to bring Indiana Jones to modern gaming.
And the team can’t wait for the world to see more of what they’ve been working on. Everyone at MachineGames has their own reasons for why Indy is so important to them. It’s the feeling of taking part in a great adventure, and memories of growing up watching the movies with their families. For some it’s even been about passing that love and those moments down to their own kids.
