Bethesda Softworks and acclaimed developer MachineGames have confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will officially launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, marking the action-adventure epic's debut on a Nintendo platform.

First released for Xbox Series consoles in 2024, the cinematic adventure has earned widespread praise for its engaging narrative, striking visuals, and the creative collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. Announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's arrival on Switch 2 is a significant milestone for both Nintendo and MachineGames.

The announcement included a brand-new gameplay trailer tailored for Switch 2, underlining the enhanced experience set to arrive on Nintendo's next-generation hardware. Alongside the Switch 2 announcement, Bethesda and MachineGames also revealed a first look at the "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants" downloadable content (DLC).

This new story expansion will launch on September 4, 2025, for Xbox Series and other existing platforms.

In this fresh adventure, players step into Indiana Jones' boots to explore the ancient ruins beneath Rome, unravel secrets of the Nephilim Order, and outwit a shadowy cult.

The DLC promises intricate puzzles, intense action, and atmospheric new locations, with highlights including mysterious crypts and the labyrinthine depths of the Cloaca Maxima. The narrative of The Order of Giants occurs during the main game's timeline.

Indiana embarks on a quest prompted by a young priest, leading him through perilous encounters tied to the enigmatic Cult of Mithras and a legendary beast.

Throughout the expansion, players can expect a new original soundtrack that enhances the story-driven experience. For those who own the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Premium Edition, Premium Upgrade, Collector’s Edition, or Collector’s Bundle on current platforms, The Order of Giants DLC will be available at no extra charge upon release.

Owners of the base game will have the option to purchase the new DLC separately through their platform’s digital storefront, such as the Nintendo eShop. MachineGames, celebrated for their work on the Wolfenstein series, continue to strengthen their legacy with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
