"PS5 Release Trailer: Nolan North Welcomes Troy Baker to Adventure Game 'Club'"

Bethesda has thrilling news for fans of adventure and archaeology: MachineGames' latest venture, *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle*, is set to hit the PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access, with a worldwide release following closely on April 17. Those eager to dive into the action early can secure their spot by pre-ordering the game.

This announcement comes four months after the game's initial launch on Xbox and PC, and it's accompanied by a delightful promotional trailer featuring a meeting of gaming titans. The trailer showcases a light-hearted conversation between Troy Baker, who voices Indiana Jones, and Nolan North, renowned for his role as Nathan Drake in the *Uncharted* series. This crossover is a nod to the shared inspiration between the two iconic characters, marking a significant moment for *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle*.

Adding an intriguing twist, Bethesda, now under Microsoft's wing, enlists Nolan North, the face of Sony's *Uncharted* franchise, for this promotional banter. While North cleverly avoids mentioning Nathan Drake or *Uncharted* directly, his performance is filled with playful nods to his character's adventurous escapades. He humorously suggests he's broken into the luxurious setting of the chat, hinting at imminent danger, a common theme in Drake's treasure hunts.

In their exchange, North teases Baker about facing Private Military Forces with just a whip, to which Baker responds with a cheeky reference to using his head. North's preference for sidearms and casual attire contrasts amusingly with Baker's more traditional adventurer's garb. Their banter also reveals their shared love for ancient artifacts, though with different intentions—North's character aiming to sell them, while Baker's Indiana Jones seeks to preserve them for museums. This playful exchange marks a symbolic welcome of the new Indiana Jones into the elite club of adventurers, with North's character extending an invitation: "Welcome to the club."

This collaboration between Xbox's Indiana Jones and PlayStation's *Uncharted* on Sony's console is a testament to Microsoft's broader multiplatform strategy, which has seen several Xbox titles cross over to rival platforms. *Indiana Jones and The Great Circle* is just the latest to embrace this approach, following the likes of *Forza Horizon 5* and *Doom: The Dark Ages*, with more expected to follow suit.

The game has already garnered significant attention, with over 4 million players engaging since its day-one launch on Game Pass. This number is poised to grow further with the upcoming PS5 release.

Harrison Ford, the legendary actor behind Indiana Jones, has voiced his approval of Troy 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." Ford's commendation came in a discussion with *The Wall Street Journal*, highlighting his satisfaction with Baker's portrayal of the iconic character.
