"Nolan North Welcomes Troy Baker to Adventure Game Elite on PS5"

Bethesda has revealed that MachineGames' latest adventure, *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle*, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 with early access starting April 15, followed by a global release on April 17. Pre-ordering the game grants players this exclusive early access opportunity.

This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial debut on Xbox and PC. Alongside the announcement, a delightful promotional trailer was released, featuring two of the most iconic video game actors sharing the screen.

In the trailer, Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, sits down with Nolan North, renowned for his role as Nathan Drake in the PlayStation-exclusive *Uncharted* series. This encounter marks a symbolic full-circle moment for *The Great Circle*, given the inspiration Uncharted drew from Indiana Jones. The involvement of Nolan North, associated with Sony's Uncharted franchise, in a Microsoft-owned Bethesda ad adds an intriguing layer, though North carefully avoids mentioning any Sony-specific terms.

The playful banter continues as North humorously suggests he's broken into the opulent room they're in, hinting at the imminent arrival of goons—a nod to Nathan Drake's typical adventures. When asked how he plans to tackle Private Military Forces with just a whip, Baker points to his head, prompting North to quip about a headbutt, appreciating the aggressive approach. North describes himself as a "sidearms kinda guy" favoring jeans and a half-tucked henley, contrasting with Baker's character's more traditional attire.

Their conversation reveals a shared passion for ancient artifacts, though their motives differ—North's character would sell them, while Baker's would donate them to museums. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an exclusive club of adventurers, with North declaring, "Welcome to the club." This signifies a unique collaboration between Xbox's Indiana Jones and PlayStation's Uncharted on Sony's console, hinting at a camaraderie among treasure hunters. The only missing element seems to be Lara Croft crashing the party to challenge the duo's adventure monopoly.

This move aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to release games across multiple platforms, following the footsteps of titles like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages*. *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* is the latest addition to this multiplatform push, with expectations of more Microsoft titles to follow suit.

Benefiting from a day-one launch on Game Pass, *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* has already amassed 4 million players. This number is anticipated to surge further upon the PS5 version's release.

Harrison Ford, the iconic actor behind Indiana Jones, has expressed his approval of Troy Baker's portrayal of the character in *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ford praised Baker's performance, 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."
