Rumor: Disney ‘Wants More Indiana Jones’ After Great Circle’s Success

by

Summary

  • Disney is rumored to want more Indiana Jones from MachineGames.
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle received stellar reviews, a surprise to round out 2024.

As a lifelong fan who grew up with the thrilling adventures of Indiana Jones, this news has me more excited than when I found my dad’s old fedora hidden in the attic! The success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was not just a surprise but a breath of fresh air, revitalizing the beloved franchise.

If Disney is indeed looking for more adventures from MachineGames, I can only imagine the treasures they might unearth together. I’ve seen them turn Wolfenstein into a modern classic, so the prospect of another Indiana Jones game under their care fills me with anticipation.

And let me tell you, if they decide to delay another Wolfenstein game for an Indy title, I’ll be digging through the sands of time myself to find a way to speed up development! Just remember, the only thing better than one adventure is two… and three would be just perfect!

Now, I wonder what kind of exotic artifact they’d need to convince MachineGames to put Indy’s fedora back on for another round? A golden idol perhaps, or maybe a map leading to the fabled Crystal Skull of Productivity… either way, I can hardly wait!

A fresh gossip suggests that Disney is keen on continuing the Indiana Jones saga following the hit premiere of “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” in 2024. It appears that MachineGames’ “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” has left Disney wanting more from this popular franchise.

Following its debut earlier this month, “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” garnered outstanding praise from critics. Despite being a first-person game emphasizing stealth and hand-to-hand combat, it skillfully emulated the essence of the Indiana Jones films. Many believe it’s the finest representation of the franchise in several decades. This project marked a significant departure for MachineGames, who were previously recognized for their contributions to the latest Wolfenstein games.

As reported by Jez Corden, a leaker and journalist, during a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast (around 1:04:20), Disney has expressed interest in developing more Indiana Jones games. Although Disney hasn’t disclosed any sales figures for the game yet, it’s noteworthy that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was made available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. With encouraging sales numbers seemingly in their favor, Disney appears optimistic about future collaborations with Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames to produce more Indiana Jones content.

Disney “Wants More Indiana Jones” From MachineGames

MachineGames has been actively building on the success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. They’ve already rolled out a number of updates to improve gameplay and address crucial bugs. Additionally, they are planning to launch the game on PlayStation 5 in early 2025, though an exact release date hasn’t been finalized yet.

Disney picked up the phone and wants more Indiana Jones.

Although there have been whispers that Disney may be planning more Indiana Jones video games in the future, it’s still uncertain if MachineGames will take on this project next. Just last week, rumors circulated that MachineGames could be developing multiple new titles, including a potential Wolfenstein 3. It’s simple to overlook the anticipation for a fresh Wolfenstein game given its recent triumph with Indiana Jones, but many gamers would be disappointed if a new Wolfenstein release were delayed in favor of another Indiana Jones title.
