Bethesda has exciting news for PlayStation 5 fans: MachineGames’ eagerly awaited game, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, will be available for early access starting April 15, with a global release following on April 17. Those eager to dive in early can secure their spot by pre-ordering the game.

The PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC, and Bethesda celebrated this announcement with a playful promo trailer. This trailer features a delightful meeting between two of the gaming world’s most iconic voices: Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones in the game, and Nolan North, renowned for his role as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series.

In the trailer, Baker and North engage in a light-hearted chat that plays into the shared spirit of adventure between their characters. The Uncharted series, heavily inspired by Indiana Jones, makes this encounter a fitting nod to the legacy of both franchises. Notably, Microsoft-owned Bethesda cleverly includes North, despite his association with Sony's Uncharted series, adding a layer of humor and meta-commentary to the trailer.

North playfully hints at his character's typical antics, suggesting he might have broken into the room they're sitting in, alluding to Nathan Drake's penchant for sneaking around and solving puzzles. As they discuss their methods of dealing with adversaries, Baker humorously suggests using his head, to which North quips about preferring sidearms and a certain nonchalant style of dress. Their conversation also touches on their differing philosophies regarding ancient artifacts, with Baker's Indiana Jones aiming to preserve history and North's Nathan Drake looking to profit from it.

The trailer concludes with North welcoming Baker's Indiana Jones into the "very exclusive club" of adventurers, symbolizing the camaraderie and friendly rivalry between the two iconic characters. This playful banter underscores the upcoming release of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle on PlayStation, a significant move in Microsoft's multiplatform strategy.

This release aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to expand its games across multiple platforms, following the successful launches of titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Doom: The Dark Ages on rival consoles. Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has already achieved a remarkable milestone, reaching 4 million players thanks to its day-one launch on Game Pass. The upcoming PS5 release is expected to further boost these numbers.

Adding to the excitement, Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind the original Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance in the game. In an interview 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." This endorsement from Ford highlights the high-quality voice acting and storytelling that players can expect from Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.
