We knew that Xbox and Bethesda were working on an Indiana Jones game. Not that they were going to show us numerous details about the game. They wanted to show everything they have prepared for us in one of their biggest bets for the near future, and we bring you exactly that: everything we know so far about Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.

The key element is that it’s not just any Indiana Jones: it’s Harrison Ford. It’s the classic Indiana Jones. Any doubts about it have been eliminated. We have the Indiana Jones that we all know and love, with his classic look, and we won’t have to worry about it. As the cinematic trailer of the game has shown us.

Regarding gameplay, something they have emphasized is that it is a game where thinking before acting is very important. It is a game where they want us to feel like Indiana Jones, and that implies using our intelligence. That’s why it is expected that each situation has several ways to solve it, not necessarily only with fists, whip or guns. Regarding that, the game is in third person, but when we are not in combat, we will switch to a first-person camera to give greater emphasis to the action.

In addition, as it is Indiana Jones, they seek to give it a cinematic style. That means an emphasis on music and cinematics, which seek to resemble those of the movies. And give it a touch of adventure like those, taking us to scenarios like a lost temple, the desert or the Himalayas, among many others.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle will take place between Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and in addition to puzzles being a key part of the game, it will be released much earlier than we expected. It will be released in 2024. So, fans of Indiana Jones, Xbox, Bethesda, or any combination of the three, you’re in luck. It will be released on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC much sooner than we expected.

Hellblade 2, the first game announced for Xbox Series X and S, already has a release date

Hellblade 2, the first game announced for Xbox Series X and S, already has a release date, despite having made us wait almost five years since its announcement.

Xbox took a few years to get started. Due to restructuring and internal changes, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S were not launched with the originally planned catalog. That means that even the first games announced for the console were not necessarily released at the time they were announced. In fact, some of them have not been released yet. And the first of all, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, has recently received its release date. Just today, during the Developer_Direct 2024.

Originally announced on December 13, 2019, even before revealing the consoles, we have been waiting for the game for almost five years. But the wait is almost over. Because the Ninja Theory game will be released on May 21 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, available on Game Pass from day one.

According to its developers, what we can expect is an evolution based on the foundations of the first game. With Senua accepting her past and her voices, she will become a heroine for a series of new allies, while she searches for the Vikings who have enslaved her people in 10th century Iceland. An Iceland devastated by giants, where both combat and binaural sound will have a greater weight, to immerse us in a story that seeks to show us Senua not as a superheroine, but as a heroine capable of always narrowly escaping situations.

The original game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, was released on August 8, 2017 for PlayStation 4 and PC almost by surprise. Becoming a critical and commercial success, it stood out for its spectacular graphics, the astonishing use of binaural audio, and an exemplary narrative that addressed the protagonist’s mental illness, who suffered from psychosis, and was used with great sensitivity and interest in the game itself. This led to its adaptation to other platforms, such as Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

This sequel seems to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, impressing with its graphics and presenting all the elements that surprised us in the previous one. It even improves on less attractive aspects, such as its combat. To check it out, we just have to wait until May 21st. So there’s not much time left, considering how long we’ve been waiting.
