Is ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’ canon to the movies?

But surely that was it, right? Nope, wrong again. While Harrison Ford probably has donned the fedora for the last time in live-action, Dr. Henry Jones Jr. lives on in a different medium that he hasn’t raided for a while. On Jan. 19, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was officially announced to be coming from Bethesda and Wolfenstein’s MachineGames, with a stunning gameplay reveal trailer offering our first look at what promises to be a truly authentic outing for everyone’s favorite Nazi-punching archaeologist.

But does The Great Circle fit into the continuity of the movies or does it exist on the outside sphere of the franchise, like the little-ed Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? Here’s your answer.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle timeline, explained

Yes, Indy nerds, The Great Circle definitely is part of the movies’ canon as it slots neatly in between two of the films. Specifically, the game is set in 1937, which means it takes place in between the first movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the third, The Last Crusade. , Temple of Doom is actually a prequel to Raiders. So if you want to be really thorough next time you do an Indy binge, the chronology should go Temple > Raiders > Circle > Crusade > Kingdom > Destiny.

The Great Circle‘s timeline is teased throughout the trailer, in ways that’ll make fans feel all kinds of nostalgic, complete with the downbeat Dial of Destiny.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming sometime in 2024.
