Donning his iconic fedora and bullwhip in hand, no adventurer can stand up to Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr, better known as Indiana Jones, one of cinema’s most famous characters and more recently, the star of his very first triple-A gaming adventure, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
The Indiana Jones franchise has always been synonymous with adventure, exploration and discovery, and the game emulates that in spades, placing players in the boots and leather jacket of the famed explorer as he ventures to magnificent yet perilous locations in a globe-trotting adventure.
Speaking of globes, the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Collector’s Edition features one front and centre, and it’s certainly a sight to behold. With prices starting at US$189.99, it bundles both physical and digital goodies, but its main showpiece is without a doubt its 11-inch The Great Circle Globe, which comes equipped with a secret compartment unlocked via the use of a magnetic plane figurine.
Here’s everything that comes with the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Collector’s Edition:
- Digital Premium Edition Xbox Series X|S / Windows PC code on the back of an Allmaker relic replica (including pre-order bonuses)
- 11-inch The Great Circle Globe with magnetic plane figurine
- A Jumbo SteelBook display case
- The New Adventure Journal
The Great Circle Globe is by far the standout here, an impressive showpiece for any budding explorer. Not only are the map details painstakingly designed to fit the game’s 1937 setting, but the Great Circle’s sacred ancient sites from the story are also highlighted, such as Sukhothai and Gizeh, lining up to form a perfect circle around the Earth.
What’s more, no assembly is required, and the globe also features a rather unique hidden compartment, much in line with the game’s themes of discovery. To unlock it, the plane magnet must be attached to a correct point of interest on the globe (hint: The Great Circle points the way), which will trigger the opening mechanism and allow the top half of the globe to be lifted open, revealing a nifty storage compartment for the New Adventure Journal.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was released on 9 December 2024 for the Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a PlayStation 5 version on the way in 2025.
