In a recent development, Twitter sleuth Kurakasis claims to have uncovered the name of Bethesda's forthcoming Indiana Jones video game. According to registered URLs by Lucasfilm, the highly anticipated title appears to be titled "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle."
While details about the game are scarce at the moment, aside from the accidental discovery of its name, it is yet to be revealed what genre the game will fall under. However, leaked information suggests that the game was initially slated for a 2022 release and will be exclusive to Xbox, as revealed in FTC court documents.
It has been known for a while that Swedish developer MachineGames, renowned for their successful Wolfenstein series, has been working on an Indiana Jones project for the past three years. Given their expertise in creating first-person shooter hits, it is highly likely that "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" will follow the same genre.
Bethesda's parent company, Zenimax, has remained tight-lipped about any further details regarding the game's storyline or gameplay. However, it is worth mentioning that Bethesda is now under the umbrella of Microsoft, following their acquisition of Zenimax.
Fans eagerly awaiting more information about the game won't have to wait much longer, as "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" is expected to be officially revealed during the Xbox Showcase on January 18. It is speculated that Microsoft and Bethesda had intended to unveil the game's name and showcase actual footage simultaneously, but this recent discovery may have spoiled their plans.
Kurakasis's investigation also unveiled various URLs associated with the game, including "indianajonesandthegreatcirclegame.com" and "hindianajones-and-the-great-circle.com." Moreover, a two-year-old European trademark for "The Great Circle" further solidifies the belief that it is related to the upcoming Indiana Jones game.
While some may argue that the Indiana Jones franchise has had its fair share of disappointing titles such as "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the anticipation surrounding "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" remains high due to the talented team at MachineGames and the potential that lies within. Fans are optimistic that the game will deliver an exciting and immersive experience.
As the January 18 Xbox Showcase approaches, gamers and Indiana Jones enthusiasts alike await the unveiling of "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" with mounting excitement. Stay tuned for more updates on what promises to be a thrilling addition to the Indiana Jones video game franchise.
