Since its announcement in January 2021, the next Indiana Jones game has been in development. But the Wolfenstein developer, MachineGames, has now stopped talking about the new adventure game. However, it looks like more information may be on the horizon. Based on a recent pair of domain registrations, it seems that Bethesda’s upcoming Indiana Jones game is called “Indiana Jones And The Great Circle”.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could be the title of the upcoming Indiana Jones Game
The potential title of Bethesda’s Indiana Jones game could be Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, according to recently discovered registered domains and trademarks.
The information was discovered by Twitter user @Kurakasis, revealing that on January 9, 2024, Lucasfilm registered multiple domains. Domains such as http://indianajonesandthegreatcirclegame.com indicate the potential title. Additionally, two years ago, Lucasfilm applied for a trademark in Europe for “THE GREAT CIRCLE,” which includes video game-related goods and services.
Also, there is an intriguing teaser in the only official artwork released by Bethesda, the game’s publisher. The teaser image shows piles of books and papers with the word “Ancient Circle[s]” written on the top book in the center of the frame. This might be more than a coincidence and could provide a subtle hint about the game’s theme.
Not only the above-mentioned domain, but Lucasfilm additionally registered various other domains, reinforcing the possibility of the game being titled “Indiana Jones And The Great Circle.” These domains include:
- http://indianajonesandthegreatcircle.asia

This revelation comes at an intriguing moment, as Xbox is scheduled to have its first Developer Direct of 2024 on January 18 of next week, and has already promised fans an early peek at MachineGames’ Indiana Jones game.
Bethesda had initially announced the game in 2021, and Todd Howard, the executive producer of Starfield, is overseeing its development. Given MachineGames’ expertise in games involving Nazi-themed narratives, their selection for this project has been widely appreciated.
Recently, Microsoft announced that MachineGames will demonstrate the action-adventure game on January 18 during an Xbox and Bethesda conference via Developer Direct 2024. During the upcoming presentation, Microsoft has promised over 10 minutes of gameplay and developer insights, offering a glimpse into the game’s setting, story, and the unique experience of playing as Indiana Jones.
While much about the game remains unknown, the anticipation is high, especially with MachineGames behind the development, known for their work on titles like Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein 2: New Colossus.
Anyways, as the showcase approaches, gamers can expect to learn more about “Indiana Jones And The Great Circle,” adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding this mysterious adventure.
