A recent leak has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, suggesting that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the highly anticipated action-adventure game from MachineGames and Bethesda, will launch on PlayStation 5 on April 17, 2025. The news, first reported by The Verge via an internal document, comes just months after the game’s initial announcement as an Xbox and PC exclusive.
The leak, corroborated by French gaming outlet Dealabs in a separate report, points to a strategic shift for the title, which was originally slated to skip Sony’s console. While neither Bethesda nor Sony has officially confirmed the date, industry insiders suggest the timing aligns with a broader push to expand the game’s reach following Microsoft’s recent multiplatform publishing strategy.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle promises to blend cinematic storytelling with immersive gameplay, casting players as the iconic archaeologist in a globetrotting quest to uncover an ancient mystery. Early trailers highlighted first-person exploration, whip-swinging mechanics, and puzzle-solving reminiscent of the classic films. The PS5 version is expected to leverage the console’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for heightened immersion.
Fans have expressed both excitement and skepticism online. “I’ve been waiting years for a great Indiana Jones game, but I’ll believe the PS5 release when I see it,” tweeted user @NazcaTombRaider. Others speculate the April date could coincide with Star Wars Celebration or other Lucasfilm events, given Disney’s involvement in the franchise.
Notably, the leak arrives amid a flurry of high-profile gaming announcements, including updates on Death Stranding 2 (detailed here). However, all eyes remain on Indy’s next digital adventure.
Bethesda has yet to respond to requests for comment. For now, PlayStation fans should mark April 17 on their calendars—but stay tuned for official confirmation.
