Archaeological journey among the world’s wonders

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a single-player action-adventure game set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. In 1937, dark forces are searching across the globe for the secret of an ancient power connected to the Great Circle. As the legendary archaeologist Indiana Jones, players must stop this plan before it is too late.

Developed by MachineGames, the studio behind the acclaimed Wolfenstein series, and produced by Todd Howard, the game delivers a cinematic narrative experience. Players travel from the lecture halls of Marshall College to Vatican City, the pyramids of Egypt, and the submerged temples of Sukhothai.

Gameplay blending intelligence and action

In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the iconic whip is not only a weapon for disarming or striking enemies, but also a crucial traversal tool. Players can use it to swing across gaps or climb difficult surfaces while avoiding enemy patrols. The combat system blends stealth, close-quarters combat, and gunplay into a flexible action experience.
