Indiana Jones Fans Are Debating Whether Or Not The Great Circle Should Be Fully Third-Person

The Great Circle will be predominantly first-person, with third-person cutscenes and traversal.

So far, Microsoft has not revealed any retail numbers for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but sales tracking company Circana did note how it was the second-best-selling title of the week ending on December 14 and only tried behind Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

If you haven’t played Indie’s debut action game from Bethesda, our sister site Game Rant has an in-depth review of it, stating, “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has elements that match right up with any of Spielberg’s movies. Its puzzles are a genuine highlight, its story fits the type of adventure that only Indy would go on, and it’s bolstered by some standout performances from its cast. Even though the combat and stealth are middle-of-the-road, the entire presentation is strong enough that fans will have a great time donning the hat and whip.”

Next on Machine Games to-do list is to release the PS5 version of the action-adventure game on the PS5, which is due sometime in Spring 2025.
