MachineGames is known for its Wolfenstein games, which are great first-person shooters. However, in the next game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the use of firearms will be something rare.

Here's What We Know

The authors do not encourage shooting in the game. They do not promote it as the main way forward. The main way forward is to always try to use your wits and your whip.

Indiana Jones is not the kind of character who will win in shootouts with dozens of people, he often uses his wits to outwit the enemy or avoid conflict altogether.

As one of the developers says: "Indiana has no superpowers. Very often you can see that it is not easy for him to get into a fight. After all, he is a teacher and a somewhat clumsy archaeologist. He just has this passion that keeps putting him in these strange situations with enemies and traps."

The authors tried to convey the feeling that if you need to engage in combat, it is very dangerous. At the same time, if you start shooting, the enemies have an alarm and reinforcements are approaching.

We have a game that has a lot of guns, but you decide not to use them because they are too loud and too dangerous. You can pick it up and use it as a melee weapon. This is a very characteristic use of weapons for Indiana Jones

When We Can Expect It

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on 9 December on PC (Steam) and Xbox Series, including Game Pass. And in the spring of 2025, the game will be available on PlayStation 5.
