Bethesda announced on Monday that “Indiana Jones and the Circle” will be coming to PlayStation 5 on April 17 in an elaborate promotional video starring actors Troy Baker and Nolan North. The video brings together the two adventurers, with Baker playing Indy in the action-adventure game and North playing the iconic character Nathan Drake in PlayStation’s Uncharted game.

In addition to the standard edition, the game will also have a premium edition, starting on April 15, with two-day early access to the Order of Giants story DLC, Temple of Doom costumes, digital art books and standard pre-order bonuses, including the Last Crusade pack.
Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Circle will also have a Collector’s Edition on PS5, which includes an 11-inch Circle Globe with flat magnets, an adventure journal, a replica Allmaker artifact, and a Jumbo SteelBook display case. The Collector’s Edition bundle also comes with the Premium Edition disc and all its benefits.
The PS5 release date trailer released by Bethesda on Sunday features Baker and North, with the latter welcoming the former into the “club.” North is the voice and motion capture artist behind one of PlayStation’s biggest icons, Nathan Drake.
The Uncharted series was inspired by the Raiders of the Lost Ark film series, while MachineGames’ Raiders of the Lost Ark takes notes from PlayStation’s Universal Adventure series. North and Baker previously worked together on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, with the latter playing Sam Drake, Nathan’s brother.
Indiana Jones and the Circle tells an original Indy story inspired by the film. The game features a first-person perspective and is set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Last Crusade. Players take on the role of Indiana Jones, wielding a whip and racing against various malicious organizations in search of power from sites spread across the globe that together form a perfect circle on the map.
The action-adventure game releases on December 9, 2024 on PC and Xbox Series S/X. “Indiana Jones and the Circle” launches on PS5 on April 15th.
