Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is MachineGames' longest game yet

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to release soon, and according to fresh details, the game will offer more gameplay hours than usual for the developer. Described as a semi-linear single-player game, Creative Director Axel Torvenius was asked during an interview about the campaign's length. While he didn't provide an exact figure, Torvenius noted that it is by far the largest and longest game MachineGames has ever developed.

For some context, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, also developed by MachineGames, takes approximately 11 hours to complete its main story, or 17 hours when including side objectives, according to HowLongToBeat. Naturally, playtimes vary by player, but it's reasonable to estimate that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will require at least 12 hours for the main story alone, potentially much more for those exploring every corner. We'll know for sure once the game launches.

 

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Will Feature a Lenghty Campaign

 

In the same interview by GamingBolt, Design Director Jens Andersson confirmed that Indiana Jones will include separate difficulty options for puzzles and combat. However, players hoping for a Photo Mode will be disappointed, as the game won't feature one.

Additionally, Axel Torvenius shed some light on the DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which had already been announced. Dubbed The Order of Giants, the DLC will deliver a unique, narrative-driven experience that complements the base game seamlessly. "What we can say about the DLC at the moment is that it will be a very heavily narratively-driven unique experience that fits in very good with the main campaign," he explained. This means fans will have even more hours of gameplay to enjoy if they grab the DLC at launch.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set in 1937, between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The game focuses on sinister forces seeking the secret of the Great Circle—various locations around the globe aligned in a perfect circumference. Played in first-person, players will tackle a series of puzzle challenges and, naturally, engage in combat against enemies. Indy's trusty whip and the protagonist's signature charm will be ready.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches on December 9, 2024, for PC, Xbox Series S|X, and Game Pass, with the PS5 version arriving in 2025.
