Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle, one of the biggest Xbox exclusives of the year, could be eligible for one or more sequels in the future if the stars align.
In any case, Douglas Reilly, vice president of Lucasfilm Games, who worked on the development of Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle in partnership with MachineGames and Bethesda, suggested this. The studio behind the latest Wolfenstein's deep love and passion for the iconic character has proven so infectious that we could be treated to other games of its kind. However, you should not sell the Archaeologist's Hat before you capture it.
After the cinema: Indiana Jones became a video game star?
This month of December, Xbox had relatively free reign to release its last big exclusive of the year, Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle. It was therefore released rather quietly on December 9th on PC, Xbox Series and Game Pass. If we don't know the exact sales figures yet, we at least know that it received great reviews from both the press and gamers. This is thanks in particular to an extremely faithful video game adaptation of the legendary Lucasfilm films. The latter's gaming industry took an active part in its development.
Its vice president, Douglas Reilly, told Variety that he wouldn't mind repeating the experience. But he prefers not to place the golden idol in front of the rock. “ Right now we're focused on releasing Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle and its DLC to make sure it's as successful as possible. I think we're always very interested in big, new stories. And the good news is that we have plenty of storytelling space between films. In any case, we work closely with MachineGames and the franchise managers. ».
The future of Indiana Jones as a video game therefore depends on the commercial success of Ancient Circle and its DLC. Remember that the game will break away from its console exclusivity when it releases on PS5 in spring 2025. This should potentially lead to a significant increase in sales. In the meantime, the intrepid hero can rest, teach his lessons, and wait to be called back by the exciting prospect of a new adventure.
