Indiana Jones headbutts a Nazi 37 seconds into the reveal trailer for The Great Circle, coming later this year

pcgamer.com:

MachineGames gave us our first real look at its long-awaited Indiana Jones game at today's Developer Direct showcase, confirming the title—Indiana Jones and the Great Circle—and revealing details on the setting and story, and—this is the important part—a release target of later in 2024.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was first announced in early 2021, albeit as just 'a new Indiana Jones game' until the title leaked last week. It's been silence since then except for confirmation that the game will tell an original story, and that Todd Howard has been eager to make one for a really long time. 

Now we've got a proper idea of what's coming, and it looks like both a proper Indiana Jones game and a full-on MachineGames creation: The gameplay trailer literally opens with a Nazi eating a nasty headbutt (another fun thing you can do with a Nazi) and there's plenty more Nazi-punching to follow, complete with helmets flying dramatically into the sky. 

There's also some highly-detailed first-person whip-work on display, occasional bits of gunplay, stealth, and puzzles to solve—some of which may seem a little familiar. One interesting and, I think, unexpected aspect of the game is that aside from occasional pullbacks for cinematic effect, The Great Circle will be played from the first-person perspective: As MachineGames executive producer Jerk Gustafsson said during the presentation, «You aren't just playing as Indy, you are Indiana Jones.»

«The year is 1937, sinister forces are scouring the globe for the secret to an ancient power connected to the Great Circle, and only one person can stop them—Indiana Jones,» the now-live Steam page says. «You’ll become the legendary archaeologist in this cinematic action-adventure game from MachineGames, the award-winning studio behind the recent Wolfenstein series, and executive produced by Hall of Fame game designer Todd Howard.
