How Machine Games balanced action and comedy in the Indiana Jones video game | interview

Perhaps the biggest game of the giant Gamescom expo — which drew 335,000 fans to Cologne, Germany — was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a game being published this fall by Microsoft’s Bethesda division and developed by Sweden’s Machine Games.

I spoke with Axel Torvenius, creative director, and Jens Andersson, game designer at Machine Games, after seeing the preview for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Their studio made major games for Bethesda in the past like the Wolfenstein series, and now their game is coming on December 9 on the PC and the Xbox Series X/S.
