Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by MachineGames, to be published by Bethesda Softworks. It is based on the Indiana Jones franchise and will feature an original narrative that draws from the film series.[1] Set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), the story follows archaeologist Indiana Jones in 1937 as he attempts to thwart various groups who are seeking to harness a power connected to the Great Circle, which refers to mysterious sites around the world that form a perfect circle when connected together on a map. The game spans numerous real-world locales such as Rome, Thailand, Egypt, Shanghai and the Himalayas. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S in 2024.

The Great Circle is primarily played from a first-person perspective with third-person being employed for contextual elements such as environmental interaction. Players control Indy as they navigate through a mix of linear, story-sensitive areas and wider, exploratory landscapes. Combat can either be directly engaged with or circumvented entirely through the use of stealth mechanics, and the character's signature whip can be used as both a weapon, or as a means for traversing across obstacles and solving various puzzles to uncover alternate paths and obscured collectibles.

Bethesda and MachineGames jointly announced the game's development in January 2021, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.[2] Directed by Jerk Gustafsson, composer Gordy Haab contributes original pieces and reinterpretations of classic themes from the films by John Williams and executive producer Todd Howard conceived the game's story.
