And, effectively, it’s proper up there with howlers like “Kingdom of the Crystal Cranium” and “Dial of Future.” In line with a bunch of URLs lately registered by the rightsholder Lucasfilm, the identify seems to be more likely to be Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle.
Maybe the URL for “The Beautiful Triangle” was already taken?
As but, completely nothing is thought about The Nice Circle past this by chance found element—not even a style is on the market. We all know from one other leak that this recreation was initially meant to have been launched in 2022, and from FTC court docket paperwork that it’s going to be an Xbox unique. However past that, crickets.
It’s been identified that Swedish developer MachineGames has been engaged on an Indiana Jones license for a minimum of three years. It’s the group behind the final decade’s trilogy of Wolfenstein first-person shooter hits, The New Order, The New Colossus, and Youngblood. So an FPS appears seemingly.
