Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PlayStation 5 consoles next week! Set between “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Last Crusade”, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is a first-person, single-player adventure that will take you all over the world, uncovering clues and solving an ancient mystery. Your journey will take you from the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the arid deserts of Egypt to the lush and sunken temples of Sukhothai and the frigid peaks of the Himalayas.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on April 17 (or up to 2 days early if you pre-order the Premium Edition), showcasing advanced features that leverage the console’s capabilities.
“We’re so excited to bring Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to PlayStation players,” says Production Director John Jennings. “Each platform introduces something unique to the experience, and we’ve worked hard to ensure our use of the PlayStation 5’s suite of features directly benefits you and the game. We look forward to hearing your Indy stories!”
DualSense controller features
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle throws you right into the action with the DualSense controller’s immersion-enhancing features, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Whether you’re in combat, traversing through your environment with the help of your whip, or using tools like your camera and lighter, you’ll feel every action in the palms of your hands.
Additionally, the lightbar is connected to game actions to give you visual feedback about Indy’s current status. For example, when you enter combat, the LED light around the touchpad will turn yellow, or pulse yellow if the NPCs are searching for you. If your health gets low, the light will pulse red until you heal up. Using a consumable to restore health like food or a bandage will turn the light green for a few seconds.
Performance enhancements
The game benefits from frictionless loading, selective installation that prioritizes your system language (other languages can be installed separately), and SSD optimization, ensuring a seamless experience with faster streaming and loading. The Great Circle also takes advantage of the PlayStation 5’s advanced CPU and GPU capabilities to achieve stable 60 FPS with high quality resolution.
Visual and audio immersion
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes extensive use of the PlayStation 5’s ray-tracing capabilities both on the base model and the PlayStation 5 Pro console. The global illumination system allows for greater detail and quality as well as more realistic and dynamic lighting throughout the world. Audio immersion is enhanced by 3D audio and HD rumble during cinematic scenes and gameplay, letting you feel like you’re right in the scene as Indy himself.
