Original Story

An original story set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade has been written for this game. It does not appear connected to any previous Indiana Jones game beyond their inherent connection to the movies.

List of Trailers

First-Person Perspective

You play the game from a first-person perspective, viewing the world through the eyes of Dr. Indiana Jones. This can help you feel more immersed in the world. However, some cutscenes will shift into a third-person perspective for a more cinematic view.

Channel Indy’s Resourcefulness to Solve Puzzles

In this game, often stealth and ingenuity work better than brute force. The game encourages you to explore and discover clues that can help you on your journey. You may also make use of any of the different tools that Indiana Jones has in his arsenal to get through obstacles and the many puzzles you’ll encounter throughout the game.

Can You Play Co-Op or Multiplayer?

Linear Gameplay with Some Open Areas

For the most part, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a linear game with the story missions taking you to fixed locations. However, it appears as though there will be some open areas where you can take on side quests, interact with the locals, and find your own adventures.

Use Adventure Points to Upgrade Abilities

Completing missions rewards you with Adventure Points, which can be spent to upgrade Indy’s abilities. Abilities can help you with combat or exploration and are obtained by finding Adventure Books out in the world.

During the story, you will be able to don disguises to help you get through certain restricted areas.
