Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Set for Nintendo Switch 2 Release in 2026
In a major announcement during Gamescom 2024, Microsoft revealed that its acclaimed action-adventure title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, will be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
Developed by the celebrated studio MachineGames, the game initially debuted in 2023 on PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5, quickly earning critical praise for its gripping narrative and reverence to the iconic film franchise.
Stepping into the well-worn boots of Indiana Jones, players navigate an interquel story set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
The game plunges Indy into a high-stakes adventure spanning Egypt, ancient Thailand, and the Vatican City, as he races against the Nazis to recover a mysterious religious artifact.
True to the spirit of the franchise, The Great Circle delivers a blend of adrenaline-pumping action, environmental puzzles, and globe-trotting exploration, all accompanied by a healthy dose of pulpy charm and classic Nazi-thwarting heroics.
The narrative even introduces a fresh love interest for Indy, further enriching the storyline without detracting from the core adventuring experience.
During the event, representatives from Microsoft confirmed the forthcoming Switch 2 version with a succinct showcase, but refrained from elaborating on whether this port will be a 'complete' edition featuring all downloadable content.
Additionally, there were no details provided regarding the physical edition's content, which has been a point of contention for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X releases that require digital downloads rather than offering the full game on disk or cartridge.
These specifics remain to be clarified as the 2026 launch date approaches.
The Nintendo Switch 2, heavily anticipated by both gamers and industry analysts, will offer fans the flexibility of experiencing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in portable or docked mode.
The move continues Nintendo’s strategy of expanding its library with celebrated third-party titles, further cementing the hybrid console as a key player for major releases.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 not only broadens the game’s accessibility but also underscores the enduring appeal of Indy’s adventures.
As the release window draws nearer, additional information on content offerings and distribution formats is expected from Microsoft and MachineGames.
