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

Bethesda has exciting news for fans of the iconic adventurer: MachineGames’ *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is set to launch on PlayStation 5 with early access on April 15, ahead of its global release on April 17. Those eager to dive into the action can secure early access by pre-ordering the game.

This PS5 release comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC. Alongside this announcement, Bethesda released a playful promotional trailer featuring two of the video game world's most renowned actors, Troy Baker and Nolan North.

In the trailer, Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, sits down with Nolan North, the voice behind Uncharted's Nathan Drake. The Uncharted series, heavily influenced by the Indiana Jones saga, makes this encounter a fitting "full circle" moment for *The Great Circle*. Adding a twist, Microsoft-owned Bethesda has enlisted North, known for his role in Sony's Uncharted series, for this promotional video. While North avoids mentioning "Nathan Drake" or "Uncharted" directly, his performance is filled with knowing nods to his iconic character.

North humorously suggests he broke into the opulent room where they're filming, hinting at the imminent arrival of goons, a common occurrence for Nathan Drake. He playfully questions Baker on how he plans to tackle Private Military Forces with just a whip. Baker taps his head, suggesting a "headbutt," to which North responds approvingly, "I like it. Aggressive." North then describes himself as "more of a sidearms kinda guy… jeans… henley," with Baker adding, "somehow always half-tucked."

The two actors share a camaraderie over their love for ancient artifacts, though with differing intentions: North's character would sell them to the highest bidder, while Baker's Indiana Jones aims to donate them to museums. This exchange symbolizes Nathan Drake welcoming Indiana Jones into an exclusive club of adventurers. "Welcome to the club," North declares, signifying the unity of Xbox's Indiana Jones with PlayStation's Uncharted on Sony's console. The only thing missing is Lara Croft crashing through the window, quipping about not letting the boys have all the fun.

This release is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to bring its games to multiple platforms, following the footsteps of titles like *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages*. *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* has already seen impressive success, reaching 4 million players since its launch on Game Pass, a number expected to surge with the PS5 version's release.

Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's portrayal of the character in *The Great Circle*. In a conversation with *The Wall Street Journal*, Ford humorously remarked, "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."
