We've been hearing about this one for quite a while at this stage, and Bethesda and MachineGames have finally shared a first look at their highly-anticipated Indiana Jones FPS action adventure video game via an exciting gameplay trailer.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, and will follow the legendary archaeologist/adventurer on a perilous new journey. According to the press release, the game "features a mix of combat, stealth, puzzles, gunplay, and of course...Indy's whip! Use it for traversal, as a distraction, or taking out enemies. You aren't just playing as Indiana Jones, you ARE Indiana Jones."
This take on Jones (thankfully) features Harrison Ford's likeness, and EW has exclusively revealed that Troy Baker (Joel in The Last of Us games) will provide the character's voice.
"He really brings forward that charm and sense of humor in such a good way," MachineGames’ co-founder and lead game designer Jerk Gustafsson tells the site. "He's also a very big Indiana Jones fan, which is super cool. So he's also very invested in the game."
As usual, Indy will be joined by a female companion on his latest adventure: Gina Lombardi, an investigative journalist who has a personal stake in this story. The character will be voiced by Italian actress Alessandra Mastronardi, who appeared opposite Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
"I don't know how deep I want to go into that at the moment," Gustafsson teases. "I would say that she is also somewhat of a resistance journalist, and that has been an important part as well for shaping this character to make sure that Gina has her own goals."
Check out the trailer and poster below.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be an Xbox exclusive title, and is set to hit shelves later this year.
