Bethesda has exciting news for fans of the iconic adventurer: MachineGames' *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is set to launch on PlayStation 5 with early access on April 15, followed by a global release on April 17. Those eager to dive into the action can secure their spot by pre-ordering the game.
This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC. Alongside this announcement, Bethesda released a playful promo trailer featuring two of the most renowned video game actors, Troy Baker and Nolan North, who portray Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake, respectively. The trailer is a nod to the shared heritage between Indiana Jones and the Uncharted series, marking a full-circle moment for *The Great Circle*.
In an intriguing twist, Microsoft-owned Bethesda has enlisted Nolan North, the voice behind Sony's Uncharted series, for this promotional video. While North avoids mentioning 'Nathan Drake' or 'Uncharted' directly, his performance is filled with knowing nods to his iconic character. In the trailer, North humorously suggests he broke into the room they're in, hinting at the imminent arrival of goons—a common occurrence for Nathan Drake.
The banter continues as North questions Baker on how he plans to tackle Private Military Forces with just a whip. Baker responds by pointing to his head, suggesting a "headbutt," which North appreciates for its aggression. The conversation highlights their characters' differing approaches to ancient artifacts: Baker's Indiana Jones aims to donate them to museums, while North's character would sell them to the highest bidder. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an exclusive club of adventurers, with North declaring, "Welcome to the club."
This collaboration signifies Microsoft's broader strategy to release its games on multiple platforms, following the footsteps of titles like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages*. *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* has already attracted 4 million players, thanks to its day-one launch on Game Pass, and is expected to see a significant increase in player numbers with its PS5 release.
Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance in the game. In an interview 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."
