While Microsoft and MachineGames have yet to release any official figures, it seems Indiana Jones & The Great Circle did well enough to warrant more games.
According to the fairly reliable Jez Corden of Windows Central, Disney “picked up the phone and wants more Indiana Jones.” Corden was speaking on the new episode of his podcast and didn’t elaborate further on whether Disney is seeking more Indiana Jones games in general or specifically wants MachineGames to work on them.
This would fit in with what we heard prior to Christmas when Daniel Richtman, who mostly deals with the movie industry, commented more Indiana Jones games being likely. Jez Corden seemingly confirmed this at the time.
So far it has proven difficult to gauge the game’s overall success. It’s Steam numbers were very low, but analyst Mat Piscatella also revealed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle managed to rank as the 2nd best-selling videogame for the week ending December 14 in terms of US dollar sales. That’s impressive considering it’s available on Game Pass and sold very little on PC.
And the game certainly did well critically. OpenCritic currently lists it as having an average score of 87.
Now for God’s sake Microsoft, just give us some sales data and player numbers, you bloody numptys. Or are you going to wait until it launches on PS5?
