Last night during the Xbox Developer Direct, Wolfenstein studio MachineGames revealed the first in-depth look at its upcoming first-person action game, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. While the game will use Harrison Ford’s likeliness, the actor isn’t actually voicing the main character. Instead, Indiana Jones will be voiced by Troy Baker.
Entertainment Weekly confirmed that voice actor Troy Baker, best known for playing Joel in The Last of Us along with multiple other popular video game characters, will be the voice of Indiana Jones in The Great Circle. Judging by the reception, Baker is doing a pretty great job replicating Harrison Ford’s voice and that’s needed in a game that’s selling you on this actually being Ford as Indy and not a stand-in.

MachineGames also released an official description of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle:
“Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames, in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, have officially revealed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a first-person, cinematic action-adventure game set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Players will step into the shoes of Indiana Jones and embark on a single-player, narrative-driven journey that spans the globe during the height of the legendary archaeologist’s career. Discover the answers to one of history’s greatest mysteries in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle later this year on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass.”
“Indy’s trademark whip remains at the heart of his gear, and can be used to distract, disarm, attack enemies, and traverse the environment,” MachineGames added. “Throughout the game, players will encounter a mix between a narrative-driven gaming experience and open-area maps. With gameplay full of adventure, immersive action, and intriguing puzzles, players can combine stealthy infiltration, first-person melee, and gunplay to sneak, fight, and puzzle their way through the enemy threat.”
