Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to be one of the biggest studio productions yet. This first-person action-puzzler game is scheduled to be released on Xbox and PC next month, and fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival. While the exact size of the game has not been revealed, developers have hinted at its scale in a recent interview.
In a rapid fire interview with MinnMax, two of the developers shared some insights about the game. Creative director Axel Torvenius mentioned that The Great Circle is the biggest and longest game that MachineGames, the studio behind the game, has ever done. MachineGames is known for titles like Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which were large, linear shooters with open-ended moments and plenty of action.
Based on the length of MachineGames’ previous titles, which took about 13-15 hours to complete, it is safe to estimate that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will likely take players at least 16 hours or more to finish. With nearly four hours of cutscenes included in the game, some players may find themselves spending up to 20 hours exploring the game’s maps, uncovering secrets, and solving puzzles.
The developers have hinted at the game’s depth, with maps that can be revisited to find missed secrets and complete puzzles. This suggests that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will offer a rich and immersive gameplay experience that encourages exploration and discovery. With the promise of a game that is longer and more expansive than MachineGames’ previous titles, fans of the Indiana Jones franchise have a lot to look forward to.
While the game’s length may seem daunting to some, it is worth noting that watching all five Indiana Jones movies would only take about 10 hours. This raises the question of whether the new game will feel like a collection of five movies condensed into one interactive experience. Fans will have to wait until December 9th when Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is released on Xbox, Game Pass, and PC to find out.
For those eager to get their hands on the game early, pre-ordering the deluxe version will grant access three days before the official release date. Additionally, the game is set to arrive on PlayStation 5 next year, expanding its reach to a wider audience of players. With its combination of action, puzzles, and exploration, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is shaping up to be a must-play title for fans of the beloved franchise.
