Douglas Reilly, Vice President and General Manager of Lucasflim Games, has revealed that the studio would be interested in telling more stories based on Indiana Jones if the recently-launched Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a success.
Developed by MachineGames, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now available for Xbox and PC, and will be coming to the PS5 in Spring 2025. The game is also set to receive an expansion next year too, titled The Order of the Giants. Now, speaking with Variety, Reilly said that it would be ‘super interesting’ to tell more stories based on the character.
Right now, we’re focused on getting this one to the public and getting to the DLC and making this as successful as we can. I think we’re always looking for great stories. And the good news is, there’s a lot of space in between the films where we could tell more and more Indiana Jones stories that I think would be super interesting.

So canon is such a complicated concept. It is an authentic story set between the two movies of Raiders and The Last Crusade. We work closely with the studio and franchise management. So yes, it is meant to be an authentic Indiana Jones experience, in that sense.
Troy Baker, the voice actor behind Indy, recently revealed that he originally turned down the role as he wasn’t sure he could pull it off, but fortunately went through with it after a meeting with Todd Howard and the developers.
