Lucasfilm domain registrations surface ahead of Xbox showcase

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle appears to be the title of Bethesda and Lucasfilm’s new Indiana Jones game created by Wolfenstein developers MachineGames, if a recent brace of domain registrations are any indication.

The timing adds up. There’s anXbox Developer Direct coming on January 18th, which will cover the new Indiana Jones game together with Ninja Theory’s Celtic psychodramaHellblade 2, Obsidian’s RPGAvowed, and Oxide’s simultaneous-turn strategy offeringAra: History Untold.

My hopes are pretty boring by comparison: I’d like a proper pub brawler melee combat system, building on the surprisingly technicalIndiana Jones And The Emperor’s Tomb, in which you could put people in a headlock and mess up their hair something awful. Look at him go!

It could be too much to ask, especially if the game is first-person: MachineGames know how to do dual-wieldy shootybangs, but their fisticuff talents are relatively untested. Anyway, we’ll find out more soon enough.
