Insider claims more Indiana Jones games are coming – WGB
Although it launched two weeks ago we don’t really have any idea of how well Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is doing. Despite it being an excellent game ( I loved it, as you can tell by my review) the Steam numbers seemed to suggest soft sales, with just 12,138 peak concurrent players. Having said that, it has maintained 6-8 thousand concurrent players per day.
Even without any official confirmation though, an insider is claiming at least one more game is already in the works.
Looks like we’re getting more Indy games 👀

Word comes by way of Daniel Richtman, someone who typically focuses more on movies and TV but does occasionally venture into gaming territory, especially with an IP like Indiana Jones that spans multiple media types.
“Looks like we’re getting more Indy games” he simply tweeted out. It’s possible he has more information on his Patreon page where users are encouraged to pay. His latest Patreon post, which he tweeted about shortly after talking about Indiana Jones, teases some Disney updates and thus may include some relevant information.
Unfortunately, Daniel’s Patreon page is also the reason that his reputation is not bullet-proof. Over the years he has been accused of trying to drive traffic to Patreon my making things up. He certainly has gotten a fair few claims wrong, but in his line of work that’s not uncommon and things can, of course, always change behind the scenes, resulting in an insider’s information looking false even when it was not.

But in this case Daniel does have some backup. Jez Corden of Windows Central is a reasonably reliable source and he replied to the tweet with a GIF of Dwight Schrute from The Office saying “It’s true.” Of course, Jez could just be messing around and having fun.
We also have to consider that Daniel’s tweet may not be inferring a direct sequel to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from MachineGames. It’s possible that other Indiana Jones projects are in the works at other studios, whether they are remakes of older titles or completely new games.
What do you think? Has Indiana Jones performed well enough for a sequel to be greenlit already? Perhaps the deal with Disney was for multiple games?
