At Gamescom Opening Night Live, Bethesda Softworks offered an important update for fans of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. They announced that the game will be ported to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This confirmation ends months of speculation and marks a new phase in the game’s journey across platforms. The title has already seen significant success since its initial launch on PC and Xbox in late 2024. In addition to this surprise announcement, the studio also presented a new preview of the game’s first major expansion, titled The Order of Giants, and set its release date for early next month.
The upcoming DLC, The Order of Giants, is set to arrive on September 4, 2025. It promises to expand the game’s globe-trotting story. The new trailer offered a glimpse into the expansion’s plot. Players will explore a new mystery tied to the ancient Roman Empire. The story will introduce a new character, a young priest named Father Ricci. He will confront the shadowy Cult of Mithras as he uncovers a mysterious Roman artifact, guiding him through ancient gladiatorial arenas and hidden histories.
The choice to bring the game to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware shows Microsoft’s broader strategy to reach more players with its first-party titles. This approach has already yielded results, as seen with the success of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation 5. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has also performed very well on the PS5 since its release earlier this year. This move reflects the publisher’s confidence in the game’s appeal beyond the Xbox ecosystem.
While the Switch 2 port is planned for a 2026 release, this announcement highlights the game’s status as a major multi-platform release. For a title that has been well-received by critics and players alike, landing on a new Nintendo console ensures an even broader audience can enjoy MachineGames’ celebrated take on the iconic adventurer. The future looks bright for the title and its expanding presence in the gaming world.
