Xbox has revealed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which was just shown off for the first time at the Developer Direct showcase, will be launching later in 2024.
It's been a long time coming, but we've finally got our first look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which was announced back in 2021, as part of Xbox's first Developer Direct of 2024.
