The name of MachineGames and Bethesda’s game may have been revealed ahead of its announcement next week. A couple of days ago, Lucasfilm registered several domain names that center around the possible game title “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” and this ties in with previous trademarks.
Lucasfilm registered a total of 11 website domains with variations of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, as spotted by Twitter user Kurakasis (thanks Reddit), and some of them imply this is the name of a game rather than another form of media. The list of currently inactive sites includes:
The potential game name ties in with a trademark that was registered by Lucasfilm in 2022 for “The Great Circle.” Amongst the large list of goods and services covered by the trademark was video games. At the time, many believed this was for an upcoming Star Wars project, but it seems like those predictions may have been incorrect. A reference to an Ancient Circle can also be seen on a book cover in the game’s initial teaser trailer.
The Indiana Jones game will be one of many titles at next week’s Xbox Developer Direct. The official reveal will unveil the game’s title as well as story and gameplay details. Xbox has also promised the first Indiana Jones gameplay trailer. There may even be the announcement of a release date window, which is currently rumored to be sometime in 2024 according to “sources close to the game” who spoke to Insider Gaming.
The Xbox Developer Direct will air at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on January 18. Other games that will be at the show include Avowed, Ara: History Untold, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
