In a recent interview, game director Jerk Gustafsson discussed the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. He explained the meaning behind the game’s title, MachineGame’s inspiration for its story, and what the studio hopes to accomplish with gameplay.
In case you were wondering, the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle voice cast doesn't include Harrison Ford

Nope, Harrison Ford is sadly not voicing the titular tomb raider in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Ford's younger face is certainly intact in the upcoming game - which received a solid debut at last night's Xbox Developer Direct - but another actor is doing a surprisingly good job at impersonating the iconic whip-cracker. EW reports 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's reveal yesterday, 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 and set in between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a nothingburger of a name, we did learn much more from developer Machine Games yesterday. The Wolfenstein studio is retaining its signature first-person perspective, but shifting its focus away from shooting and more toward puzzle-solving, stealth, exploration, and the whip-whipping. We'll see more for ourselves when the game launches in Fall 2024 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass on day one.
Executive producer Todd Howard also revealed that he's been sitting on his Indy pitch "forever."

The Great Circle Idea for the Indiana Jones Game Was First Conceived by Bethesda’s Todd Howard
By far, the biggest reveal at the second Xbox Developer Direct was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The new first-person action/adventure game in development at MachineGames looked great in its first presentation and isn't too far off, either, since it is slated to launch later this year on PC and Xbox Series S|X.

Who Indiana Jones And The Great Circle’s Villain Is
The upcoming video game tosses the intrepid archaeologist into a deadly adventure once more, and that journey looks like it will face him up against foes who are as dastardly as ever. Starting with rival archaeologist René Belloq and the army of Nazis on his side in, villains tend to be memorable parts of stories that are full of set pieces and surprises galore. Indiana always triumphs, of course, but his enemies are often done in by their hubris as much as they are by his wits.

Indiana Jones Steals the Show at the Xbox Direct
Microsoft’s second (hopefully annual?) Xbox Developer Direct went, like the first, exceptionally well. While we didn’t get a shadow-dropped killer exclusive – and let’s be honest, that’s not an expectation that Team Xbox probably wants to set – we did still get the surprise of a behind-the-scenes look at Square Enix’s upcoming Visions of Mana. Better yet, we got a good look at gameplay from Obsidian’s upcoming first-person RPG Avowed, we got the Hellblade 2 release date we’ve been waiting for, and best of all, we got the proper reveal of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the new first-person (!) action/adventure/puzzler/whip-simulator that’s being executive produced by Elder Scrolls and Fallout director Todd Howard. I’m extremely pleased with Microsoft’s showing, and it helps set the tone for what should be a very good year of Xbox exclusives.
