Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with Fortyseven Communications | Bringing a Legendary World to Life

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes players on a globe-spanning journey, with Bethesda Softworks contributing to how its world and story are brought to the screen.

Adventure has a way of revealing itself in the smallest details, a faded map, a whispered legend, a door left slightly ajar. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle opens with that same sense of wonder, inviting players to follow curiosity across distant landscapes and into moments that feel both familiar and entirely new.

Troy Baker steps into the role of Indiana Jones with a performance that feels both familiar and new. He captures the character’s humor, grit, and sense of curiosity, creating a connection for longtime fans and first-time players alike. To do the character justice, the team carefully studied archival images of Harrison Ford, using them as a reference for the way Indy moves, looks, and reacts. With Bethesda Softworks, Fortyseven Communications helped shape the overall tone and presentation of the project and their expertise sets the stage for an experience that respects the past while inviting players into a fresh chapter of the adventure.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle sends the famed archaeologist on a journey tied to an ancient mystery that stretches across different parts of the world. Along the way, players explore historic locations, solve environmental puzzles, and navigate encounters that test both curiosity and quick thinking. The story keeps its focus on discovery and atmosphere, building a steady sense of adventure without giving too much away.

Combat leans heavily on close-quarters action, giving Indy a full range of hand-to-hand moves. Players can dodge, block, and parry incoming attacks, mix quick jabs with heavier charged punches, and manage stamina as fights unfold. The result feels grounded and physical, encouraging timing and positioning over brute force.

The whip adds a tactical layer, letting Indy pull enemies closer or knock weapons out of their hands. In a first-person perspective, the snap of the whip and the reactions it draws from surrounding soldiers help sell the sense of presence, making each encounter feel more immediate and responsive.

Indiana Jones’ wit carries through to the final moments, giving the adventure a sense of character as much as momentum. Bethesda Softworks framed that experience in a way that feels clear and confident, keeping the focus on what makes the journey enjoyable to play and to watch. The title’s recognition as Best Adventure Game of the Year at the 2025 NYX Game Awards serves as a quiet but meaningful nod to the work behind the scenes.
