Fans Seemingly Not Excited For Indiana Jones Despite Positive Previews

Expert Verified By

Indiana Jones and the Lost... Hype?

Story Highlight
  • Fans appear to be less enthusiastic about Indiana Jones and The Great Circle compared to other highly anticipated games.
  • The game’s success may depend on its gameplay quality, not just its iconic franchise.
  • STALKER 2 and Silent Hill 2 have generated more excitement among fans.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was met with positive early reviews, but fans don’t seem as excited as they are for other big releases this year. Even though MachineGames tried to capture what makes the Indiana Jones franchise special, the overall response has been lukewarm.

This became clear when Geoff Keighley asked fans on Twitter which upcoming game they were most excited about that is yet to be released in 2024. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle barely came up, with most fans more interested in games like STALKER 2 and Silent Hill 2.

Why it matters: Although Indiana Jones is making its way to PS5 in 2025 in an attempt to reach a bigger audience, the hype for it seems non-existent.

Fans Are More Excited For STALKER 2 and Silent Hill 2
Many people have expressed interest in the upcoming STALKER 2.

The early gameplay trailers look promising, featuring a mix of first- and third-person views and an adventure set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. However, the excitement for the game seems to have died down.

MachineGames, famous for their Wolfenstein series, had fans hoping for a great story and engaging gameplay. However, the first-person view, which was unexpected for many, might have lessened some of the hype.

Many fans have expressed mixed feelings about the game. Some worry that MachineGames’ focus on first-person shooters could affect the adventure elements, drawing comparisons to their Wolfenstein series.

The comments suggest that nostalgia alone may not be enough to boost sales if the gameplay doesn’t meet expectations. In contrast, games like STALKER 2 and Silent Hill 2 have generated a lot of excitement for many reasons.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will feature some third-party gameplay but not much.

Although Indiana Jones is a famous movie name, its video game adaptations have been inconsistent, which might explain why the reaction to The Great Circle has been more subdued.

As the game gets closer to its release later this year, it’s unclear if the early doubts will shift to excitement. For now, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle seem to be taking a backseat to more hyped releases in 2024.
