Bethesda may have just leaked the title of MachineGames’ Indiana Jones game, and there might not have been much they can do about it.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Twitter user Kurakasis found LucasFilm registered several website domains for a new Indiana Jones title: Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. One of the domains is literally http://indianajonesandthegreatcirclegame.com.
Kurakasis also found that LucasFilm filed trademarks for the title The Great Circle, two years ago, in Europe, for goods and services, specifically for video games. It also includes registrations for mobile games. Kurakasis speculates that this is because this game could be streamed by Game Pass users via Xcloud. Or, they just want to secure the trademark even if they don’t plan to use it, just to make sure nobody else tries to use it.
I will point out that it’s also possible LucasFilm has commissioned a separate mobile game with the same title. That mobile version of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle would likely to be made by another studio. That could maybe even a studio outside of Microsoft Gaming.
We know that MachineGames’ upcoming Indiana Jones title will be part of the second Xbox Developer Direct, that will go live next week. Some fans may think that LucasFilm made some kind of mistake by letting this go public, but it’s more likely that they already expected this to get out.
Of course, when companies file these trademarks, the countries where they file those trademarks set a date when those trademarks will go public. So LucasFilm knew when this title would go public, and Microsoft, Bethesda, and MachineGames probably also knew well in advance.
If anything, Microsoft likely scheduled the Xbox Developer Direct with this title disclosure in mind. They may have even already decided this last year, after seeing how successful the first Developer Direct turned out. This title reveal would start buzz about the Indiana Jones game. They could then take advantage of that buzz to increase interest for their Developer Direct, and get more eyes to see the event itself, or at least follow the news.
As some have already pointed out, this is the start of a very big year for Microsoft. Even without taking the Activision deal into account, Microsoft revealed that they have had so many games in the works for the past few years, and they will finally be publishing those games.
They have enough in the bank to release a game every quarter for the next few years, presumably until the end of the Xbox Series X|S. Xbox owners will definitely have a lot to celebrate this year.

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.
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. As a game set in the same continuity as the movies, includes a number of returning characters, but also includes some additions that are completely new to the game.
MachineGames revealed the first look at its upcoming title, at Xbox's Developer Direct 2024 showcase. The Xbox Series S/X and PC exclusive title was announced back in January 2021, but the showcase finally gave players their first look at gameplay and provided some insight into the story, and when it takes place on the wider timeline.
As part of the latest Xbox Developer_Direct stream, MachineGames has shared a look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with behind the scenes developer chat and a first gameplay reveal. It’s confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2024, with a day one release straight into Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox kicked off its 2024 with a jam-packed Developer Direct showcase, bringing reveals and updates on four upcoming releases from four studios, plus a bonus update from Square Enix. 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. As well-known as this hero of archeology is, nothing created in the franchise would be the same without the image and voice of Harrison Ford.
The upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will see veteran voice actor Troy Baker play the titular treasure hunter. Bethesda revealed that it is working on an Indiana Jones video game back in 2021, with subsidiary Wolfenstein studio MachineGames on developmental duties. There has been very little official information in the years since the Indiana Jones game’s first 30-second teaser trailer was shown, save that it is being produced exclusively for PC and Xbox consoles following Microsoft’s buyout of Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media in 2021.
MachineGames and Bethesda appeared at the Xbox Developer Direct to finally pull the curtain back on the Indiana Jones game, which is now officially titled Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. There have been many questions about the Indiana Jones game since it was first announced, and many of those questions have now been answered thanks to the big Xbox Developer Direct reveal.
You might not realize it, but the character of Indiana Jones has quite a history in the video game space. When his movies were some of the toasts of Hollywood, Lucasfilm made various games about the character that took him all over the world and looked for all sorts of artifacts. But it’s been some time since that experience was felt in the gaming space, and the last two movies starring him haven’t helped matters. However, over at Bethesda, Todd Howard had a vision, which has been revealed as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, headed up by Machine Games.
