The Great Circle game sees Indy (Troy Baker) battling sinister forces who seek to unlock the power of the titular Great Circle. The game’s story begins after Jones has left his fiancĂ©e, Marion Ravenwood. Following the theft of an artifact from Marshall College from an imposing man known as Locus (Tony Todd), Jones heads to the Vatican to investigate. He discovers that sites of spiritual significance have been built throughout history, realizing that their locations form a perfectly aligned circle around the globe.
Besides Rome, other locations include the Sukhothai temples in Thailand, the Egyptian pyramids, Shanghai in China, and the snowy Himalayas. During his journey, he teams up with investigative reporter Gina Lombardi (Alessandra Mastronardi), who has an interest in the case. They go up against Emmerich Voss (Marios Gavrilis), who uses psychological manipulation against his enemies. The Great Circle also stars Vithaya Pansringarm, Grace Vorananth, Marios Gavrilis, Luca Riemma, Giuseppe Russo and Julian Ferro.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is being released on Xbox Series X|S, as well as PC and Xbox Game Pass on December 9, 2024, with a PlayStation 5 version expected by the second quarter of 2025.
