MachineGames, the creators of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, have confirmed that players won't be able to harm dogs in the upcoming game. This decision marks a significant departure from the studio's previous work, such as the Wolfenstein series, which featured violent encounters with animals.
A Dog-Loving Indiana Jones
Creative Director Jens Andersson explained to IGN that the decision stems from Indiana Jones's character and the game's overall tone: "Indiana Jones is a dog person," he stated. While the game retains the action-adventure spirit of the franchise, the developers are prioritizing a more family-friendly experience. Dogs will appear, but interactions will avoid causing them harm; instead, Indy will focus on scaring them away. Andersson emphasized the importance of aligning the game's design with the franchise's family-friendly image.
Gameplay and Setting
Set in 1937, between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle follows Indy as he pursues stolen artifacts. The adventure takes him across diverse locations, from the Vatican and Egyptian pyramids to the underwater temples of Sukhothai. Indy will use his iconic whip not only for traversal but also as a weapon against human foes in open-world-inspired environments.
The game launches December 9th on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a PS5 release tentatively scheduled for Spring 2025. Rest assured, canine companions are safe in this thrilling adventure. For further details on gameplay, explore our related article!
