Bethesda Unveils Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Nintendo Switch 2 at Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase
The gaming world saw a major announcement this morning during the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, as Bethesda brought a host of exciting updates for Nintendo Switch 2 owners and fans.
Among the lineup, the reveal of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle stole the spotlight, alongside additional Switch 2 versions of highly anticipated titles such as Fallout 4 and Oblivion Remastered.
First announced in 2023 with only a short teaser, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has finally received its first full gameplay reveal.
Bethesda confirmed that the action-adventure title will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12th, 2024.
Gamers were further excited by the news that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be available on a full physical cartridge, an inclusion that has become increasingly rare in the digital age. Speaking during the showcase, a Bethesda representative shared that only a minimal download is necessary for those seeking the Polish language option, highlighting the publisher’s effort to provide a comprehensive out-of-the-box experience.
This is particularly notable given that the Xbox Series S version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle requires nearly 90GB of storage.
The ability to fit such a blockbuster game onto a Switch 2 cartridge—currently with a maximum standard size of 64GB—demonstrates impressive technical engineering by the Bethesda team, or possibly points to Nintendo’s advancement in cartridge technology for its new platform. Retail availability was another point of interest, with Best Buy opening pre-orders for the physical release immediately following the announcement.
More retailers are expected to list the game soon, increasing accessibility for Nintendo Switch 2 owners eager to experience Indiana Jones’ latest adventure on the go. In addition to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Bethesda revealed that remastered editions of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are headed to the Switch 2, expanding the console’s robust library with classic RPG experiences.
This marks another high point in Bethesda’s collaboration with Nintendo, bringing some of the company’s most cherished franchises to hybrid hardware for the first time. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launches May 12th, 2024 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, with physical cartridge and digital downloads available.
With pre-orders now open and more announcements likely on the horizon, the future of Bethesda games on Nintendo hardware looks brighter than ever.
