Upon its release earlier this month,Indiana Jones and the Great Circlewas met with stellar reviews. Even as a first-person game focused on stealth and melee combat, the game did a great job of capturing the spirit of theIndiana Jonesmovies, and is arguably the best piece of media to come from the IP in several decades. It was a considerable change of scenery for MachineGames, previously known for its work on the modernWolfensteingames.
According to leaker and journalist Jez Corden in a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast, “Disney picked up the phone and wants moreIndiana Jones,” making the claim at around 1:04:20 in the show.

Whatever figures that Disney are seeing for the game, the company seems to be happy so far, so hopefully it can come to an agreement with Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames for more in the future.
