Bethesda has thrilling news for fans of the iconic adventurer: MachineGames’ latest title, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access, with a global release following on April 17. Those eager to dive into the adventure early can secure their spot by pre-ordering the game.
The PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC, and the announcement was accompanied by an engaging promotional trailer. This trailer features a delightful on-screen meeting between two of the most recognized voices in gaming: Troy Baker, the voice behind Indiana Jones, and Nolan North, known for his role as Nathan Drake in the PlayStation-exclusive Uncharted series. This encounter is a nod to the full-circle moment for The Great Circle, given the inspiration drawn from Indiana Jones for the Uncharted series.
Adding a layer of intrigue, Microsoft-owned Bethesda cleverly included Nolan North in their promotional efforts, despite his association with Sony's Uncharted franchise. While North avoids directly referencing Nathan Drake or Uncharted, his performance in the trailer is filled with knowing nods to his iconic character. In the video, North humorously suggests he's in a rush, hinting at the typical Uncharted scenario where goons might interrupt at any moment.
The playful banter continues as North questions Baker on how he plans to tackle Private Military Forces with just a whip. Baker's response, pointing to his head and suggesting a "headbutt," is met with North's approval, showcasing their characters' different approaches to adventure. North's character prefers sidearms and a casual, half-tucked style, while Baker's Indiana Jones aims to preserve artifacts for museums. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an exclusive club of adventurers, with North declaring, "Welcome to the club." This signifies the harmonious coexistence of Xbox's Indiana Jones and PlayStation's Uncharted on Sony's console, united in their quest for treasure.

This move is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to release its titles across multiple platforms, following the footsteps of other Xbox games like Forza Horizon 5 and Doom: The Dark Ages. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has already seen significant success, reaching 4 million players thanks to its day-one launch on Game Pass, a number expected to surge with the PS5 release.
In related news, Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's portrayal of the character in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. In a conversation with The Wall Street Journal, Ford humorously remarked, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it." Ford's endorsement underscores the high-quality performance and creative talent behind the game.
