MachineGames is celebrating its 15th anniversary by updating last year’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, following its DLC last month.
The biggest addition is New Game+, which allows players to carry over Adventure Books and unspent Adventure Points, currency, and Medicine Bottles from a previous playthrough. What’s more, completing the game again in this mode will unlock a brand new ending after the credits.
Secondly, the Cairo outfit has been added, inspired by Indy’s jacket-free look in Raiders of the Lost Ark (see header image).

Thirdly, new language options will allow players to mix and match voice languages and subtitles.
The update will be available across Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5 from 10th October.
It also brings a number of other fixes and tweaks you can see listed below.
General Fixes
- Fixed an issue where enemies might linger in their “stumble” animation if you punched them while they’re breaking out of your grab.
- Fixed an issue where pushing a grabbed enemy into a tight space could leave the enemy detached from Indy but still in the “grabbed” animation state.
- Fixed an issue with a specific “finisher” animation where the camera would clip through Indy’s arms.
- Fixed an issue where you could enter wall squeezes while downed and using the “Lucky Hat” ability that resulted in you standing up and unable to progress properly.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a control-lock if restarting a checkpoint during the middle of a save.
- Fixed an issue where using the “push” button to open “disguise doors” could prevent you from being able to walk through the door.
- Fixed an issue where, if you left a level while holding an inventory item, it would be stuck to your hands when revisiting the level
Missions & Quests
DLC
- Fixed another issue that might cause pipes to be placed incorrectly during the Gladiator puzzle.
- Fixed the animation of the blackshirt being dropped from the bridge near the entrance to the Gladiator puzzle.
- Fixed many minor graphical glitches through the whole story.
Peru
- Fixed an issue where audio was missing in the Main Menu if you quit the game during the opening cutscene.
Gizeh
- Fixed an issue where the clothes of certain villager NPCs would not animate when the character moved.
Sukhothai
- Fixed an issue that might cause the boat engine sounds to never stop when you arrive at the rebel village at night.
Iraq
- Fixed an issue where skipping the cinematic where Indy frees Gina might result in the Siren sounds to never stop.
UI
- The price of guides and books now show correctly when inspecting them from one of the vendors.
PC Specific Fixes
- Fixed an issue where binding the interact/use key to be the same as the “buy” button from vendors, it could prevent you from buying items.
- Fixed an issue where setting Reflections to the lowest quality made certain objects look completely black.
Localization
- In Arabic, fixed the alignment of the quick-inventory warning text about restricted zones.
DLC The Order of Giants was released in September – it extends the story but doesn’t add anything meaningful to the gameplay.
