Nope, Harrison Ford is sadly not voicing the titular tomb raider inIndiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Ford’s younger face is certainly intact in the upcoming game - which received a solid debut at last night’sXbox Developer Direct- but another actor is doing a surprisingly good job at impersonating the iconic whip-cracker.EWreports that Troy Baker is adopting the fedora hat, an actor you’ve probably heard as the voice behind too many video game protagonists including The Last of Us' Joel.
Should you have seen Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’srevealyesterday, you probably didn’t need me to tell you that Ford wasn’t returning. Baker certainly doesn’t sound much like himself, or any of his other characters, but his rendition leans more toward a Jeff Goldblum type, something I’m definitely not complaining about either. It’s a little uncanny, sure, but still wildly fun.
In fairness, the legendary actor did reprise his role in last year’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny flick - a send-off that GamesRadar+’s Molly Edwards called the “perfect goodbye” to the character. Turns out, we were just saying goodbye to Ford since the upcoming videogame is canonical andset in between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
Executive producer Todd Howard also revealed that he’s been sitting on his Indy pitch “forever.”
