Bethesda has exciting news for PlayStation 5 gamers: MachineGames' eagerly anticipated title, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, is set to launch on PS5 with early access on April 15, ahead of its global release on April 17. Fans who pre-order the game will gain early access to this thrilling adventure.
This PS5 release follows four months after the game's debut on Xbox and PC, and it was announced alongside a charming promotional trailer featuring two iconic video game actors, Troy Baker and Nolan North. Baker, known for voicing Indiana Jones, and North, famous for playing Nathan Drake in the PlayStation-exclusive Uncharted series, come together in a nod to the shared legacy of their adventurous characters.
In the trailer, Baker and North engage in a witty exchange that highlights the playful rivalry and camaraderie between their characters. North, in character as the charming thief Nathan Drake, humorously suggests he broke into the ornate room where they're filmed, hinting at the imminent arrival of goons, a classic scenario in Uncharted. Meanwhile, Baker discusses tackling Private Military Forces with a whip, to which North quips about using a more aggressive "headbutt" approach. Their banter continues as they discuss their differing approaches to ancient artifacts—North's inclination to sell them contrasts with Baker's desire to donate them to museums, symbolizing a welcoming of Indiana Jones into the elite club of adventurers. "Welcome to the club," North concludes, acknowledging the new addition to the PlayStation library.
This collaboration is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to release its titles across multiple platforms, following the likes of Forza Horizon 5 and Doom: The Dark Ages. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has already seen success, reaching 4 million players, a number expected to surge with its PS5 launch.
Adding a personal touch, Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ford humorously remarked on the authenticity of Baker's portrayal, stating, "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."
