During its Developer Direct 24 digital event Xbox exclusive studios showed off some of their upcoming projects including Ninja Theory’s Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II which got an official May 21 release date.
Perhaps the biggest news out of the event was the first footage from Bethesda and Machine Games Indiana Jones And The Great Circle. Set between “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Last Crusade”, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is a first-person, single-player adventure that will take you all over the world, uncovering clues and solving an ancient mystery. Become the adventurer in a race against sinister forces. Your journeys will take you from the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the arid deserts of Egypt to the lush and sunken temples of Sukhothai and the frigid peaks of the Himalayas.
Machine games talked about the importance of balancing fun combat with traversal and intricate puzzle solving. The three big staples of a great Indiana Jones adventure. Ambitiously, the studios also confirmed we’d see the game launch sometime in 2024. If this comes true, we could be looking at the first significant new Xbox franchise to come out of the studios acquired by Microsoft.
