Bethesda has exciting news for fans of the iconic adventurer: MachineGames' *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access, with a global release following on April 17. Pre-ordering the game grants you access to this early release, allowing you to dive into the action-packed adventure before everyone else.
The PS5 release comes four months after the game's debut on Xbox and PC, and it was announced alongside a charming promotional trailer featuring two of the most renowned video game actors: Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, and Nolan North, known for his role as Nathan Drake in the PlayStation-exclusive *Uncharted* series. The trailer marks a significant moment, as the characters of Drake and Jones, both inspired by each other, come together through their actors in a nod to their shared legacy.
In the trailer, Baker and North engage in a light-hearted conversation that showcases their characters' distinct personalities. North, embodying Drake's roguish charm, playfully suggests he's broken into the luxurious setting where they're chatting, hinting at the imminent arrival of goons—a common occurrence in Drake's treasure hunts. Meanwhile, Baker's Indiana Jones discusses facing Private Military Forces armed only with a whip, emphasizing clever tactics over brute force. Their banter reveals a shared passion for ancient artifacts, though their motivations differ: North's Drake aims to sell them, while Baker's Jones wishes to preserve them in museums. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an elite club of adventurers, culminating in North's welcoming declaration: "Welcome to the club."
This playful crossover reflects Microsoft's broader strategy of releasing Xbox titles on rival platforms, a move that has already seen games like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages* making their way to other consoles. *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is the latest in this trend, poised to further expand its audience upon its PS5 release.
The game has already achieved impressive success, reaching 4 million players thanks to its day-one launch on Game Pass. This number is expected to surge with the PS5 version's availability, bringing even more adventurers into Jones' world.
Adding to the excitement, Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's portrayal of the character. In an interview with *The Wall Street Journal*, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's performance, humorously noting, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."
