Indiana Jones and the Great Circleuses first-person camera angles to create a “unique experience” that you won’t find in other action-adventure games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider.
In an interview withLucasfilm, the upcoming game’s director, Jerk Gustafsson, discussed the studio’s decision to make Indie’s adventure a first-person experience. “First-person gameplay is part of MachineGames’ DNA, and we wanted to see how we could use this to create a really immersive experience around stepping into the shoes of the world’s most famous archaeologist,” the director explained.
“It also separates our game from many other action-adventure titles, making it a unique experience that you cannot find anywhere else,” Gustafsson added. “We still want to show Indy as much as possible, so we have a seamless flow between first-person gameplay and third-person actions, events, and cinematics.”
A lot of thought has gone into bringing the professor’s new game to life. Elsewhere in the Developer Direct, Bethesda boss and The Great Circle’s executive producer, Todd Howard, saidhe’s been sitting on everything about the Indiana Jones game “forever,"- considering everything including “what Indy was going after” and the “arc he was going to have.”
Shortly after this part of the video,Howard was spotted stealing the Golden Idolfrom right underneath MachineGames' nose.
In case you were wondering,the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle voice cast doesn’t include Harrison Ford.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
