A new adventure awaits

Set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle follows Indy on a journey to uncover the secrets of an ancient power known as the Great Circle. As Indiana Jones, you’ll explore iconic locations like the Vatican, Egyptian pyramids, and the sunken temples of Sukhothai, facing obstacles and uncovering relics along the way. Each location holds secrets and puzzles, testing your resourcefulness and courage against the dangers lurking in every corner.

The story captures the spirit of classic Indy adventures. It features a new storyline and a cast of memorable friends and enemies. You’ll encounter a range of characters—some reliable, others with hidden motives—each adding layers of intrigue to the story. You’ll recognize themes of courage, wit, and discovery, all brought to life with a fresh take that honors Indiana Jones’ legacy. As you uncover clues and piece together the mystery of the Great Circle, you’ll find yourself immersed in a story that challenges you to think, explore, and brave the unknown in true Indiana Jones style.

Explore, solve puzzles, and fight

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat to capture the spirit of Indiana Jones in a way that both longtime fans and newcomers can enjoy. Playing as Indiana Jones, you’ll use his iconic whip and revolver—not just in combat but to interact with the environment in ways that feel true to his character. Each tool has its own purpose. Whether it’s disarming traps, swinging across obstacles, or giving Indy an edge in tough situations.

The game’s puzzles reflect Indiana Jones’ knack for problem-solving, with puzzles that range from deciphering ancient symbols to activating hidden mechanisms. Every puzzle tests your observation skills, quick thinking, and reflexes. Enemies aren’t just obstacles; they’re part of the world, with each encounter playing out in settings that react to your moves.

The structure balances a guided storyline with open-area maps, giving you both a clear narrative and freedom to explore. You can follow the main storyline or take detours to find hidden artifacts, each one revealing more of the world’s history or deepening the mystery. Optimized for Xbox Series X, the game includes HDR, ray tracing, and runs at 60 fps.
