Bethesda has exciting news for fans of adventure and archaeology: MachineGames' highly anticipated game, *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle*, will be launching on PlayStation 5. Early access begins on April 15 for those who pre-order, with a global release following on April 17. This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC, and it was announced with a fun-filled promotional trailer featuring two iconic video game actors.

In the trailer, Troy Baker, who lends his voice to Indiana Jones, sits down for a chat with Nolan North, known for portraying Nathan Drake in the PlayStation-exclusive *Uncharted* series. Given the clear inspiration of *Uncharted* from the Indiana Jones franchise, this meeting is a symbolic full-circle moment for *The Great Circle*. Adding another layer of intrigue, Microsoft-owned Bethesda cleverly included Nolan North, from the Sony-owned *Uncharted* series, in their promotional material. Although North avoids mentioning 'Nathan Drake' or 'Uncharted' directly, his performance is unmistakably playful.

North humorously suggests he broke into the opulent room where they're chatting and hints that he might not have much time before security interrupts, reminiscent of Nathan Drake's typical escapades. When asked by North how he plans to handle Private Military Forces with just a whip, Baker taps his head, and North chimes in with "headbutt," approvingly noting its aggressiveness. North then describes his own style, favoring sidearms and a casual, half-tucked look, sparking a light-hearted exchange about their characters' fashion choices.

The two actors share a moment over their passion for ancient artifacts, with North joking about selling them to the highest bidder while Baker talks about donating them to museums. This playful banter positions Baker's Indiana Jones as being welcomed into the "very exclusive club" of adventurers by North's character. "Welcome to the club," North declares, symbolizing the unity of Xbox's Indiana Jones with PlayStation's Uncharted on Sony's console. The scene humorously leaves room for Lara Croft to crash the party, suggesting a fun rivalry among the gaming world's treasure hunters.

This move is part of Microsoft's ongoing strategy to release its games across multiple platforms, following the footsteps of titles like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages*. *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* is the latest to join this trend, with more Microsoft-developed games expected to follow suit.

Boosted by its launch on Game Pass, *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* has already reached an impressive 4 million players, a number that's expected to surge with the PS5 release.

Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's portrayal of the iconic character in *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*. In a discussion with *The Wall Street Journal*, Ford humorously remarked, "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." Ford's endorsement highlights the skill and authenticity Baker brings to the role, ensuring fans that the spirit of Indiana Jones is in capable hands.
