Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a first-person action-adventure game developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks.
It is set in the year 1937, between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The first-person action-adventure arrives on December 9th for Xbox Series X/S and PC, with the PS5 version launching in Spring 2025.

Developer MachineGames has revealed more gameplay details on its upcoming first-person action-adventure title, which launches this December.
"Indiana Jones, he's not a gunslinger, right? He doesn't go guns blazing into situations. So it could never be a shooter, should never be a shooter," says design director Jens Andersson.
"For the people who want to experience everything, there are a lot of things to explore, and it's a really big game," says MachineGames.
The success of releasing Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded on other platforms emboldened Xbox, Phil Spencer suggests.
Story expansion The Order of Giants has also been officially announced, and it will be included with both editions.

Here's everything you should know about MachineGames' Indiana Jones game.
Potential evidence indicates that MachineGames might be discussing the development of a sequel to classic shooter franchise Quake.
MachineGames is using id Software's proprietary engine once again, as it did for all Wolfenstein games it has previously released.
The game will feature "a dynamic mix of linear, narrative-drive gameplay and open-area maps," according to an official description provided by Bethesda.
"[That] made it challenging from a technical perspective, but we gained that gritty and realistic feel to it that is so important to us," says game director Jerk Gustafsson.
Though the camera will occasionally pull back (like in cutscenes), the majority of the game will be played in a first-person perspective.
The likeness of Harrison Ford is being used, but Baker – known first and foremost for his role as Joel in The Last of Us – is playing the character in the game.
The action-adventure title will be primarily a first-person game with third-person elements sprinkled in, and will be set between the first and third Indy films.
The game's rumoured title is indicated by a host of domains recently bought by Lucasfilm featuring the potential full name.
MachineGames' Indiana Jones title will be fully unveiled at the upcoming Xbox Developer_Direct, it was recently confirmed.
Players will learn more about the setting and how they'll play as the famed adventurer. The first gameplay trailer will also debut.
The showcase will also feature Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Avowed and Ara: History Untold, but no updates for Activision Blizzard titles.
"Xbox still being one of the bigger marketplaces for games, we didn't feel like we were going to be overly exclusionary," says Disney's head of gaming, Sean Shoptaw.
Todd Howard of Starfield, The Elder Scrolls, and Fallout fame is serving as an executive producer on the action-adventure title.
However, Microsoft believed that it could make up for the losses "through upside to Game Pass and increased console sales."
The Indiana Jones game pitch by Todd Howard made anyone who heard it want to play it immediately, according to an email by Pete Hines.
A new leak has claimed that the MachineGames-developed title will have both first and third person gameplay sections.
Though MachineGames' Indiana Jones game was originally supposed to be multiplatform, Bethesda amended its deal with Disney following the former's acquisition by Microsoft.
One of the developers that worked on The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick games has joined MachineGames as design director.
Hoard says MachineGames is "doing an incredible job with the game" and calls it "a definite love letter to Indiana Jones."
MachineGames – developer of the rebooted Wolfenstein series and the upcoming Indiana Jones game – could possibly be hinting at an imminent announcement.

It is now being developed by MachineGames, who are doing "a phenomenal job" on the project, according to Howard.
