When an artifact is stolen from the college where he teaches, Indy uncovers a connection to the world’s most spiritually significant sites. Racing against rival archaeologist Emmerich Voss, who plans to exploit these locations for the Third Reich, Indy embarks on a quest to uncover the mystery, just like he always does!

Previous Heartbreaks Leave Fans Wary of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle!

Indiana Jones fans have had one too many heartbreaks to count with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’s joint ventures. The duo has been instrumental in creating, producing, and co-writing the iconic Indiana Jones films, including the legendary Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and the much-debated Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Although these are two of the most brilliant minds, they too weren’t prone to misses, and how fantastically they missed the mark with Crystal Skull was truly magnificent to watch. The last couple of years also weren’t particularly smooth for the franchise either.

As a result, fans remain a bit skeptical. However, creative director Axel Torvenius shared exciting details about the upcoming game in an interview at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany(via The Guardian). He said,

I think what will surprise people is how authentic it feels, We are extremely happy with where we are at the moment. if you’re an Indiana Jones fan, this will be your fix!
