"Indiana Jones PS5 Trailer: Nolan North Welcomes Troy Baker to Adventure Gaming Elite"

Bethesda has exciting news for fans of the legendary adventurer: MachineGames' Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access, with a global release following on April 17. Those eager to dive in early can secure their spot by pre-ordering the game.

This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC, and the announcement was accompanied by a fun-filled promotional trailer featuring two of the most iconic voices in gaming: Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, and Nolan North, known for his role as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. The trailer cleverly plays on the thematic similarities between the two characters, marking a full circle moment for The Great Circle.

In the trailer, Baker and North share a light-hearted conversation, highlighting their characters' shared love for adventure and ancient artifacts. North, in a playful nod to his Uncharted character, suggests he's on the run from goons while sitting in a lavishly decorated room. The banter continues as Baker explains how he plans to deal with Private Military Forces using his whip, with North humorously interjecting with "headbutt." Their exchange underscores the camaraderie between the two adventurers, with North welcoming Baker's Indiana Jones into the exclusive club of treasure hunters.

This collaboration is particularly noteworthy as it involves Microsoft-owned Bethesda teaming up with Nolan North, who is synonymous with Sony's Uncharted franchise. Although North avoids mentioning Nathan Drake or Uncharted directly, his performance is filled with knowing nods to his famous role.

The release of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle on PS5 is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to expand its gaming titles across multiple platforms. This move follows the successful launches of other Xbox games on rival consoles. The game, which has already garnered 4 million players thanks to its day-one availability on Game Pass, is expected to see a significant increase in player numbers upon its PS5 launch.

Harrison Ford, the iconic actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance in The Great Circle. In a discussion with The Wall Street Journal, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's portrayal, humorously noting, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."
