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.
What dark secrets lay buried beneath the busy streets of Rome? There is a myth of a beast in the hidden depths of Rome, rumored to guard a terrible secret. Get ready for an all-new Indiana Jones adventure that takes you back to the heart of Italy, where ancient legends and sinister cults promise danger to anyone brave or foolish enough to scratch below the surface.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants will take you deeper into the story of the Nephilim Order, the tribe of giants introduced in the base game story. Set during the events of the main game, this DLC introduces stunning new locations, intricate puzzles, terrifying new foes and more.
The Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants DLC kicks off when Indy meets Father Ricci, a young priest in desperate need of assistance tracking down a mysterious artifact. What starts as a typical treasure hunt soon becomes a perilous expedition as Indiana uncovers the history of the Nephilim order.
“One of the most satisfying parts of developing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was the opportunity to create the Nephilim Order, the secret society of giants formed by descendants of fallen angels working to atone for their ancestral sins,” says Production Director John Jennings. “That story spans thousands of years and this DLC has given us the opportunity to develop further upon their lore and look at other aspects not covered in the initial story campaign. There’s something new and unexpected to tell here for fans of the game, and we can’t wait for people to be able to play it for themselves.”
The DLC story will take you beyond Vatican City to explore the busy and storied streets of Rome. Traverse the crypts buried far beneath the city surface and see what secrets lay buried with the dead. Take a boat down the River Tiber and navigate the Cloaca Maxima, Rome’s ancient sewer system. Along the way, Indy will encounter new puzzles to solve and dark mysteries to unravel.
Confront the legacy of the surviving Nephilim, face off against foes in Emperor Nero’s secret gladiator games, and reveal the legend of a colossal beast. You’ll also be contending with the Cult of Mithras, an enigmatic and sinister new group hellbent on stopping your pursuit of answers. With the return of Father Ventura and Mussolini, Indy will need to use all his cunning to outwit these old enemies and the new threats emerging. The deeper Indy is pulled into the mystery, the more he begins to realize that some secrets might be better off lost to time.
