Indiana Jones game aims to restore confidence in Xbox after mixed 2024

In 2024, Xbox faced challenges despite releasing notable games like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Starfield: Shattered Space. The year was marked by corporate restructuring, including significant layoffs and studio closures, overshadowing its gaming successes. The upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is seen as crucial for Xbox. This game, developed by Bethesda's MachineGames, aims to demonstrate the value of Microsoft's acquisitions and restore confidence in its gaming division. While Ninja Theory's work on Hellblade 2 showcased Xbox's potential, uncertainty remains about the future of its studios. Indiana Jones has the opportunity to redefine Xbox's identity and set a positive tone for 2025's game lineup.
