Bethesda Softworks has officially confirmed that 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,' developed by MachineGames, is headed to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
This news marks a significant milestone for the Nintendo hardware platform, as one of the most anticipated cinematic action-adventure games joins its launch lineup, offering players a unique opportunity to experience Indiana Jones in a first-person, single-player adventure. Set between the iconic film events of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'The Last Crusade,' 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle' transports players to the year 1937.
As global tensions rise and secret organizations scour the earth for the key to an ancient power tied to the enigmatic Great Circle, only Indiana Jones can prevent catastrophe.
This immersive story invites gamers to become the legendary archaeologist and embark on a worldwide quest filled with danger, puzzles, and discovery. MachineGames, renowned for their acclaimed work on the Wolfenstein series, leads the development of this title, with executive production by Todd Howard—a celebrated name in game design and a member of the industry’s Hall of Fame.
Their expertise promises a richly crafted narrative and dynamic gameplay experience tailored for the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2. In an official breakdown of key features, Bethesda Softworks emphasized that players will embody Indiana Jones, utilizing his intelligence, ingenuity, and characteristic humor.
The journey spans globe-trotting locales ranging from Marshall College to Vatican City, Egypt's pyramids, and the sunken temples of Sukhothai.
The adventure begins with a mysterious burglary and a confrontation with a formidable adversary, setting Indy on a race against enemy forces to unravel a world-shattering secret. Gameplay in 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle' is designed to mix cinematic exploration with action, puzzles, and stealth.
Players can deploy Indy’s iconic whip not only as a weapon—distracting, disarming, or attacking foes—but also as a vital tool for navigation, swinging across chasms and scaling obstacles.
The blend of first-person melee combat, gunplay, and enemy infiltration ensures a versatile and engaging play experience. True to the spirit of the franchise, the game features both linear, story-driven moments and open-area exploration, rewarding curiosity with hidden secrets, hazardous traps, and challenging riddles.
Players will encounter new allies, battle familiar villains, and, of course, watch out for a fair share of snakes. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be available at retail and via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2, with a global release date set for 2026.
With this reveal, Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames reaffirm their commitment to delivering high-quality adventure titles to the expanding Nintendo audience, making 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle' a must-watch release for fans and newcomers alike.
