Indy’s About to Make His PS5 Debut — Great Circle Release Date Incoming!

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle might finally be cracking its whip onto PS5, according to a reliable leaker. With box art revealed and pre-order bonuses leaked, PS5 players may not have to wait much longer to step into Indy’s shoes.

After what feels like a lifetime of Xbox exclusivity whispers and platform politics, PlayStation players might finally be joining Indiana Jones on his latest globe-trotting adventure. According to trusted gaming sleuth @billbil-kun—who’s basically the James Bond of video game leaks—the release date for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 is set to be announced tomorrow. And no, this isn’t just one of those vague “we’re working on it” announcements. This one comes complete with leaked box art, juicy pre-order details, and enough excitement to fill a temple full of traps.

A Spring Release on the Horizon?

The leak strongly points to an April 17th release date for the PS5 version, aligning with the game’s previously teased “Spring 2025” window. This could mean we’re less than a month away from dodging traps and swinging across chasms on Sony’s console.

Rumour even has it that pre-orders could kick off as early as March 25th. Players might have the option to choose between a Standard Edition and a swanky Premium Edition. Opting for the Premium might grant you two days of early access starting April 15th, along with goodies like “The Order of Giants” story DLC, a digital art book, and a snazzy “Temple of Doom” outfit

The timing would make sense—spring is perfect for a digital treasure hunt. Plus, given how well the game has already been received on PC and Xbox, releasing it on PS5 now feels less like a gamble and more like a golden idol waiting to be snatched (minus the boulder chase, hopefully).

Pre-Order Bonuses That Belong in a Museum

Because what’s an Indiana Jones adventure without some collectible loot? The leaked pre-order bonuses are exactly what fans might expect—and want. Players who lock in their pre-order are rumoured to receive the “Last Crusade Pack,” featuring the classic travelling suit outfit and a lion tamer whip.

For those willing to throw a bit more Mon… er, money, at the Premium Edition, you’ll reportedly get early access to a DLC called “The Order of Giants,” a digital art book, and an exclusive “Temple of Doom” outfit. That’s a whole lot of Indy drip.

Even better? The Premium Edition may be offered in both digital and physical formats—and yes, the physical copy might actually come with a disc. Revolutionary, right? Well… sort of. There’s still a catch. The disc version will likely still require an internet connection to download the actual game and its content, which kind of defeats the point of owning a disc for some collectors. But hey, at least it looks nice on your shelf.

Why PS5-Hyped?

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle launched to critical acclaim in late 2024, with Eurogamer even crowning it their Game of the Year. Reviewers praised its blend of stealth action and cinematic flair—think Uncharted meets Dishonored with a fedora. It’s very much “classic Indy,” but with all the polish and performance you’d expect from a modern title.

What makes this PS5 release particularly exciting is the potential for enhanced performance. With the DualSense controller’s haptics and adaptive triggers, fans can expect every whip crack, punch, and boulder-dodge to feel just that bit more immersive. If the haptics are tuned just right, we may never want to drop that whip.

A Little Bit of History (The Non-Archaeological Kind)

You might be wondering—why is this release such a big deal? Well, originally, The Great Circle was positioned as an Xbox and PC exclusive. But in a rare twist of fate (and perhaps a nod to a wider cross-platform strategy), it seems Xbox Game Studios and developer MachineGames decided Indy’s adventure should be for everyone. And honestly? That’s a win for gamers across the board.

The game itself follows Indy through a mystery involving ancient ruins, shadowy conspiracies, and, of course, puzzles that definitely weren’t cleared by a health and safety officer. The “Great Circle” refers to a mysterious global phenomenon—part myth, part megastructure, part excuse to send Indy jet-setting around the world again.

What Comes Next?

If the leak holds true (and let’s be honest—@billbil-kun rarely misses), we’re just a day away from an official announcement. Expect pre-orders to open shortly after, with trailers and marketing kicking into full gear. If we’re lucky, there might even be a new PlayStation-exclusive trailer or feature showcase.

And for collectors, be on the lookout for themed merchandise or even limited edition controller bundles. After all, nothing screams “hardcore fan” like a PS5 controller styled like Indy’s satchel. Now let’s hope tomorrow’s announcement comes with a whip crack and not a delay. Stay tuned, adventurers.
