- It was revealed back in Jan 2021 that Bethesda was working on a new Indiana Jones game.
- Today during Xbox Developer_Direct livestream, we go to see over 10 minutes of new gameplay for the highly anticipated adventure.
- Players take on the role of Indiana Jones as he tries to unravel the titular mystery of the Great Circle.
During today’s Xbox Developer_Direct livestream, gameplay was finally shown for Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game.
Gameplay opened by showing our favorite explorer in a tight spot, buried in sand somewhere in Africa while talking to the evil Emmerich Voss and his group of ne’re do wells. This is followed by quick cuts of various locations and first-person gameplay where Indie is solving elaborate ancient puzzles, shooting guns on a plane, or crossing rickety bridges.
The game is set between Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
So what’s the story? A man shows up at Indy’s school and steals a relic. After the man gets away, Indy ends up at the Vatican and eventually travels all over the world while trying to unravel a complex mystery that centers around the titular Great Circle. Players will need to use their wits to solve puzzles and get around enemies. The game was developed with the intention of allowing players to find different ways of achieve their goals.
“I’ve wanted to make an Indiana Jones game forever.” Said, Todd Howard.
It was first revealed that Bethesda was producing a new Xbox-exclusive Indiana Jones game back in early 2021. MachineGames, known for the latest Wolfenstein series, is the exact studio working on the action-adventure.
For those of us who are long-time gamers, it’s exciting to see a new Indiana Jones game that matches the adventurous spirit of older titles. This is not by any means the first Indiana Jones game that has come out. But for many, it could be the first one they’ve ever played since it has been over a decade since the last whip-wielding globetrotter’s console title was released. Even then, the last game was LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues in 2009, which was hilariously fun but wasn’t the same kind of realistic action many people wanted from the Indy franchise.
