Bethesda has exciting news for fans of the iconic adventurer: MachineGames’ *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is set to launch on PlayStation 5 with early access on April 15, followed by a global release on April 17. Those eager to dive into the adventure can secure early access by pre-ordering the game.

This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC. Alongside this announcement, Bethesda released a playful promo trailer featuring a unique crossover of two of the most celebrated video game actors: Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, and Nolan North, known for his role as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. This trailer marks a full-circle moment, given the Uncharted series' inspiration from Indiana Jones.

In an interesting twist, Microsoft-owned Bethesda enlisted Nolan North for their promotional efforts, despite his association with Sony's Uncharted franchise. Throughout the trailer, North avoids direct references to Nathan Drake or Uncharted, yet his delivery carries a knowing nod to fans. He humorously suggests he's in a rush, hinting at the typical Uncharted scenario where goons might interrupt at any moment.

The banter between North and Baker is entertaining, as they discuss how to handle private military forces. Baker points to his head, suggesting a clever tactic, while North interjects with "headbutt," showing his appreciation for a more aggressive approach. Their conversation reveals their characters' contrasting motivations: Baker's Indiana Jones aims to preserve artifacts for museums, whereas North's character prefers selling them to the highest bidder. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an elite club of adventurers, with North warmly stating, "Welcome to the club."

This collaboration underscores Microsoft's broader strategy to bring their titles to multiple platforms, following the footsteps of other Xbox games that have already made the leap to rival consoles. *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* joins this trend, with more titles like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages* expected to follow suit.

Launched day one on Game Pass, the game has already attracted 4 million players, a number poised to increase with its PS5 release. Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, praised Troy Baker's performance, humorously noting in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that "you don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul." Ford commended Baker's talent and the creative approach behind the game, emphasizing that no AI was needed to capture the essence of Indy.
