Arriving 9th December 2024 from MachineGames and Bethesda, and landing on Xbox Series X, Game Pass, and PC before its arrival on PS5 in Spring 2025, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will reportedly be not only the longest game Machine games have created so far, but also be loaded with almost four hours of cut scenes, meaning the inevitable supercut will be a sight to behold.
“By far this is the biggest and longest game that Machine Games have ever done,” creative director Axel Torvenius said in a rapid-fire interview session with MinnMax. He doesn’t get specific about the exact hour count, but according to HowLongToBeat, Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus both clock in around the 11-17 hour range, depending on much side content you undertake. With Indy placing more emphasis on puzzles and exploration, it’s easy to see how it might eclipse the studio’s previous games.
Asked how many hours of cutscenes are in the game, Torvenius says “there’s roughly three hours and 45 or 40 minutes or something along those lines. It’s a lot.” That’s roughly in line with the non-interactive parts of Wolfenstein 2, as YouTube supercuts of that game’s cutscenes run between three and four hours, depending on the fan who’s doing the editing.
