The much-anticipated Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will feature the esteemed voice actor Troy Baker as the iconic treasure hunter. In 2021, Bethesda announced the development of an Indiana Jones video game, with subsidiary Wolfenstein studio MachineGames at the helm. Since then, information about the game has been scarce, except for the fact that it will be exclusively available for PC and Xbox consoles following Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media.
After a significant wait, fans were treated to a comprehensive look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle during the latest Xbox Developer Direct Showcase livestream. Set between the events of the first and third Indiana Jones films, the game is an action-adventure title with first-person gameplay and third-person segments, taking players on a global quest to unravel the mysteries of the titular “Great Circle.” Throughout the game, players will wield Indy’s iconic bullwhip, solve ancient puzzles, and navigate perilous environments while evading traps.
Bethesda has now unveiled the voice behind the iconic character of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it is a familiar name to modern gaming enthusiasts. Troy Baker will step into the shoes of the fedora-wearing archaeologist, as confirmed by Entertainment Weekly. MachinesGames’ co-founder and lead game designer, Jerk Gustafsson, expressed his admiration for Baker's portrayal of Indy, noting that Baker's passion for the Indiana Jones franchise greatly enriches his performance in the game.
Troy Baker is a prominent figure in the world of video game voice acting, having contributed to numerous titles over the course of his extensive career. He is best known for his role as Joel Miller in The Last of Us franchise, along with notable performances as Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite, various characters in the Batman: Arkham series, including Robin and Two-Face, and Snow Villiers in Final Fantasy XIII. Interestingly, Baker also portrayed Nathan Drake’s brother Sam in the Uncharted series, heavily influenced by Indiana Jones.
Based on the glimpses from the brief Indiana Jones and the Great Circle trailer, it appears that Troy Baker has adeptly captured the essence of Harrison Ford's legendary adventurer. The game’s voice cast also includes Marios Gavrilis (known for voicing Bruce Wayne in Gotham Knights) as the main antagonist Emmerich Voss, and Alessandra Mastronardi as Gina Lombardi, an investigative journalist accompanying Indy on his latest global expedition.
