MachineGames' upcoming Indiana Jones game appears to already have a title and release date, both of which leaked online ahead of its full formal reveal on January 18.
Kurakis initially discovered evidence of the game's potential title via several domain registrations by Lucasfilm, which includes domains like "indianajonesandthegreatcirclegame.com" and a European trademark filed two years ago under the video game category for "The Great Circle."
This title evokes curiosity, as it diverges from the conventional Indiana Jones naming style, raising questions about the game's theme and storyline.
MachineGames, known for their decades-long work on the critically-acclaimed and genre-spawning first-person shooter franchise, Wolfenstein, brings a strong pedigree to the project. The involvement suggests a high-quality game, possibly with a first-person shooter element, though the game's genre remains unconfirmed. This venture marks a new direction for the Indiana Jones franchise.
The potential title, The Great Circle, is particularly intriguing, especially considering the only piece of official artwork is the book, Ancient Circles. This may hint at the game's narrative or thematic elements, possibly involving global travel and exploration, aligning with Indiana Jones's adventurous spirit.
