MachineGames' upcoming title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, shifts gears from Wolfenstein's Nazi-blasting action to a more hands-on approach with everyday objects. Set to release on PS5 next Spring after a short Xbox exclusive period, Bethesda has unveiled a new gameplay overview video, offering the most comprehensive look yet at this action-adventure game.
The nearly 15-minute video covers various aspects including exploration, puzzles, stealth, and combat. The game seems to center on Indy's adventures into perilous locations, searching for clues and artifacts. Much of the trailer showcases environmental exploration and puzzle-solving.
It also highlights the use of Indy's equipment. His journal gradually fills with helpful information as you progress, while his camera can provide additional details and optional puzzle hints.
Indy's iconic whip serves multiple purposes. It aids in traversal, allowing you to swing across gaps. In combat and stealth, it can break objects for distractions, disarm enemies, trip them, and more. You'll also use improvised melee weapons, engage in fistfights, and wield a reliable revolver, though gunplay is meant as a last resort.
Overall, the game appears to stay true to what fans expect from Indiana Jones. While it remains to be seen if all elements come together cohesively, the gameplay shown here looks quite promising.
