“There Is A General Hope” For Indiana Jones & The Great Circle Sequel, But Nothing Confirmed, According To Composer Gordy Haab

After releasing to positive reception, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is looking towards a DLC, titled The Order of Giants, to keep its post-release success going, but is a sequel going to happen? Developed by MachineGames, best known for releasing the modern Wolfenstein games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has quickly become a critical success - and while nothing's been confirmed yet, some of the game's developers are already hoping for a sequel to get greenlit.

In an interview with Screen Rant, Gordy Haab, composer for Great Circle, has stated that there are currently no official plans for a sequel, but also that "there's a general hope that [a sequel] might happen," citing the game's positive critical reception as a factor that "probably has sparked some interest internally to see how much further we can take the franchise." So, while there are no concrete plans past the release of Great Circle's DLC, at least one name behind the game is hoping to see another game adaptation of the famous movie franchise.

What's Next For Indiana Jones & The Great Circle?

An Upcoming DLC And Positive Critical Reception Could Pave The Way For A Sequel

Currently, very little information has been officially revealed regarding Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's The Order of Giants DLC besides its name, so it's hard to know exactly what to expect. Some hints about the DLC might be present in The Great Circle's Vatican level, where an optional sidequest named "The Secret Of Giants" might be hinting at some aspects of the DLC's story, relating specifically to creatures of ancient Roman myth.

Fortunately for hopes of a sequel, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been well-received by critics and fans alike, with a Metacritic average of 86. Here at Screen Rant, we gave the game an impressive 9/10. The Great Circle has been largely praised for its faithfulness to the Indiana Jones franchise, its story, and its immersive sim elements, but some criticisms have been levied at the game's combat, performance, and pacing as well - all things that could potentially be improved in a sequel.

Our Take: A New Indiana Jones Game Would Be A Win

An Indiana Jones Sequel Could Fix The First Game's Issues

As a game with a few notable issues and a strong foundation to build on, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the perfect kind of game to receive a sequel - especially since, according to Haab, the developers at MachineGames seem eager to get another shot at the franchise. Unfortunately, whether The Great Circle gets a sequel or not, it'll probably be a while before any information is publicly revealed, and further news will likely have to wait until at least after the release of The Order of Giants.

While Haab's statements mean that fans can be hopeful for a sequel, it's important to emphasize that no plans for a follow-up have been officially confirmed, and until official confirmation is received, it might be best to think of The Great Circle as a standalone. Positive critical reception is a good sign, but in all likelihood, the future of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is likely going to be most dependent on how much of a profit the game can turn.
