Recent developments at MachineGames have sparked speculation among fans of the Indiana Jones franchise. A newly discovered job listing for a Senior Concept Artist at ZeniMax Media, the parent company of MachineGames, contains intriguing requirements that suggest the studio might be working on a follow-up to their successful 2024 title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

The job advertisement specifically mentions the need for experience in both the gaming and film industries, along with familiarity with entertainment media. This aligns perfectly with the cinematic approach that made Indiana Jones and the Great Circle stand out when it launched in December 2024 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. The game later expanded to PlayStation 5, where it reportedly outperformed its initial Xbox sales.

While no official confirmation exists about a sequel, industry analysts note that the timing makes sense. The game's upcoming DLC, 'The Order of Giants,' is scheduled for release on September 4th, making it unlikely that new concept artists would be needed for that project at this stage. This has led to speculation that the hiring could be for a new, unannounced Indiana Jones title.

Latest Game Information

MachineGames' current project lineup remains somewhat mysterious. Reports indicate the studio canceled an unannounced game that was in development between 2022 and 2024. While the team continues to support Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with updates and bug fixes - including recent improvements to DualSense controller functionality on PS5 and PC - their next major project could potentially be either a new Indiana Jones adventure, another Wolfenstein installment, or even an entirely new intellectual property.
