Indiana Jones and the Great Circle — An old school adventure with action/stealth | preview

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is perhaps the biggest mass appeal gaming coming this holiday season. And I was happy to be one of the first to play a couple hours of a preview of it in San Francisco recently.

The developers at Sweden’s Machine Games are finishing up the game for Microsoft’s Bethesda Softworks division, and the title is coming for Windows and the Xbox Series X/S on December 9. It will be out in the spring of 2025 on PlayStation 5. Aside from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it’s one of the most important first-party games coming out for Microsoft’s platforms this holiday season.
