Now, MachineGames has revealed on Steam that Update 3 for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released in February. According to the developers, the update will be available for PC and Xbox, and it will fix several bugs based on feedback provided by players. Notably, the patch will fix a major bug that prevented some players from achieving 100% in the game due to problems climbing vines in Sukhothai. Update 3 will also bring new graphical features and options, and it will include support for NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell GPUs for PC. Unfortunately, the exact date for the update is still unknown, but considering it’s being teased, it’s likely that it will happen early in February.
MachineGames Teases Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Update 3
Since its release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been a very popular title, but it was released too late to participate in The Game Awards. Earlier this month, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gained its first award for the performance of Troy Baker as Indy in the 14th Annual New York Game Awards.
The game was so successful that rumors indicate that Disney wants more Indiana Jones games, according to journalist Jez Corden. While official sales numbers for the game are yet to be disclosed, it seems that more games in the franchise may be developed in the future.
In any case, it remains to be seen whether these upcoming games will be devised by MachineGames or other developers. Recent reports indicate that MachineGames may be working on several new games, but none of them has been officially announced yet. Right now, the two most popular theories include either a sequel for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle or maybe a new entry in the Wolfenstein franchise, as over six years have passed since the release of Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the latest entry in the universe.
