The upcoming Indiana Jones game, "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle," developed by MachineGames, has sparked a debate over its decision to be first person rather than third person. However, the choice makes sense given MachineGames' history with first-person games and the potential for unfavorable comparisons to other third-person adventure games. The game will feature both first-person gameplay and third-person cutscenes, similar to CD Projekt Red's approach with Cyberpunk 2077. Ultimately, the debate over the game's perspective is likely to be short-lived.
Developer MachineGames explains that the decision to predominantly use first-person perspective in Indiana Jones and The Great Circle was to create an immersive experience and differentiate the game from other action-adventure titles, while still showcasing the iconic character through seamless transitions to third-person for traversal and cutscenes. The game aims to put players in the shoes of Indiana Jones, allowing for a more intimate exploration of the world and a chance to truly become the iconic hero. Set to launch in 2024 on Xbox Series X and S and PC, the game will also be available on Game Pass.
