Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the now-confirmed name of the adventure game in the works at Wolfenstein studio MachineGames under the watchful eye of Bethesda and executive producer Todd Howard, is set between the plots of the first and third films.
During today's Xbox Developer Direct live show, designers from MachineGames laid out when and how the game's narrative picks up. It's set between the stories of the first and third Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. (The second film, Temple of Doom, was set before the first film, hence the somewhat confusing framing.)
