One of the biggest titles from Microsoft is set to launch soon—Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on Sunday, December 8th. Initially, it will only be available on Xbox and PC, but it will start appearing on PS5 in Spring 2025.

Initially announced in 2021, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is being created by MachineGames, the team behind the Wolfenstein series since 2014.

This unique first-person adventure unfolds between the timelines of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade (with The Temple of Doom actually being a backstory). Taking place in 1937, Indiana Jones will be traveling the world again and delivering plenty of punches to Nazis, which is sure to be an exciting aspect for fans.

Regarding the term 'Great Circle,' MachineGames, Bethesda, and Microsoft have chosen to keep its meaning a secret for the time being, in order to maintain the element of surprise. However, the trailers hint that it may relate to the Earth's curvature and various places linked by a single route.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will premiere on December 8 or December 9, depending on your time zone or region.
