After releasing to positive reception,Indiana Jones and the Great Circleis looking towards a DLC, titledThe 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 modernWolfensteingames,Indiana Jones and the Great Circlehas 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 withScreen Rant, Gordy Haab, composer forGreat Circle, has stated thatthere 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 ofGreat Circle’s DLC, at least one name behind the game is hoping to see another game adaptation of the famous movie franchise.

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 Circleis 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, whetherThe Great Circlegets 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 ofThe 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 ofThe Great Circleas a standalone. Positive critical reception is a good sign, but in all likelihood, the future ofIndiana Jones and the Great Circleis likely going to be most dependent on how much of a profit the game can turn.
