Information is currently scarce on the upcoming video game, but a rumored title could help provide a clue as to what the game is about. The project is in development at MachineGames, the studio behind the modern games, so it's certainly in the hands of people who know how to handle the classic prerogative of killing Nazis. A 1930s setting makes it seem likely that this element will be included, but most other aspects have been subject to only loose speculation.
Although it's been a while since the last game, the franchise has a long history when it comes to adaptations. LucasArts titles like set a high bar for movie tie-in titles, and even entries that have aged more awkwardly like can be plenty of fun today. Like many properties, there are also a couple of LEGO games that take an irreverent approach to mining amusement from the film's setpieces and stories.
X (formerly Twitter) user Kurakasis uncovered several newly registered domain names by Lucasfilm, all of which center around the title . The game is expected to be showcased at an upcoming Xbox Developer Direct on January 18, so the timing of this reveal looks very promising.
The title seems to reference the geometric principle of a great circle, the circle that forms when a plane intersects a sphere through its center point, creating two equal hemispheres. It's possible that this could gesture toward the Hollow Earth theory, which posits an empty space inside the Earth that's been the subject of much speculative fiction.
The franchise has always had a penchant for tossing fantastical elements into its adventures, and this wouldn't even be the first time that the Hollow Earth concept was explored. Max McCoy, the author of some of the most well-received tie-in novels, wrote in 1997. This isn't likely to be a direct adaptation of the book, as a 1937 ticket to Rome shown in a teaser available on 's YouTube channel indicates a difference in setting, but there's always some potential for references to prior media in the game.
The idea that the upcoming game delves into a Hollow Earth is certainly no guarantee, as the title is both unconfirmed and only vaguely indicative of potential subject matter. The teaser trailer referenced "" and ", so the great circle could simply refer to an ancient stone circle, but even that would likely only be a part of a greater and more speculative concept at play. Regardless, the upcoming Xbox Developer Direct should answer core questions about the game, and perhaps confirm the title and general plot once and for all.

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.

It’s being blown away by the PlayStation 5, which it launched alongside, and is still being dominated by the Nintendo Switch despite it being seven years old! Microsoft has tried to “stem the tide” in certain ways, like by pushing the Xbox Game Pass, but even that is starting to show flaws. But its gamers are trying to hold onto hope, including by praising the console’s first-party titles coming in 2024.
Three years after it was first teased by Bethesda Softworks, , developed by Machine Games(makers of the modern series), has had a full reveal at the 2024 Developer_Direct from Xbox, revealing many of the game's major characters.

The 45-minute presentation, streamed live on YouTube and Xbox's other social channels late Thursday, took the covers off MachineGames' upcoming Indiana Jones game, provided a release date for the highly anticipated Senua's Saga, and revealed a release window for Avowed, Obsidian's next big fantasy RPG.
The upcoming features a digital recreation of the eponymous character that looks and sounds a lot like Harrison Ford, allowing players to immerse themselves in a new adventure with the iconic archaeologist. The game will occur between the events of the movies and while presenting yet another dangerous worldwide quest that Indy is drawn into.
