During the interview, Prince mentioned that globetrotting has always been a huge part of Indiana Jones movies. Consequently, he asked his guests if they could talk about the locations players would visit in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

“As you said, it really is a globetrotting adventure for Indy,” Jennings responded. “It’s an important part. All movies have that, right? They’re not set in one location.”

“So, as you saw in the trailer, we do spend some time in the Himalayas. We’ll get to see some familiar locations for Indy, as you’d have seen in some of the earlier trailers, and also a little bit in this one.

“We get to walk around the corridors of Marshall College, which is like a dream come true for Indy fans. We spend time in the Vatican, which is a cool new location that hasn’t really come across in the Indy lore before. We spent time over in Egypt and the pyramids, which is a must-have for an Indiana Jones game, right?

“We also get down into the jungles in Thailand, particularly Sukhothai, and there’s a couple of other locations as well. You’ll have to play the game to find out.”

MachineGames is confident in delivering Indiana Jones and the Great Circle this year
