Harrison Ford and Troy Baker Appear at The Game Awards for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle
Indy’s originator tips his fedora to the cast and crew behind the character’s latest video game adventure.
Perhaps for the first time, not one but two Indiana Joneses have graced the stage together.
Yesterday evening at The Game Awards 2024 in Los Angeles, Bethesda’s director Todd Howard and actor Troy Baker arrived to present the award for Best Performance. Baker has recently taken on the role of our favorite archaeologist in the newly-released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which premiered earlier this week. But as Howard playfully observed, in spite of all of Baker’s many celebrated roles in games (such as Joel Miller in The Last of Us), he has yet to take home a Best Performance win of his own. “They do give an award for best Indie game,” Howard then clarified, “and I think everybody here can agree, you make a great case for best Indy performance.”
Howard quickly added, however, that “there was another guy though…. I wonder what he thinks?” The iconic “Raiders March” was then heard as Harrison Ford himself entered from backstage to a standing ovation. “While you’re on your feet, let’s give a round of applause to these two guys for The Great Circle,” Ford told the audience. “I think this guy did a great job,” he added, pointing to Baker. “If I had known he was so good, I would’ve done it myself.”
And to cap things off, we have an all-new trailer for The Great Circle to enjoy. This one even takes us right into the classic story of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)….
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now available to play on Xbox Series X | S consoles, PC, and Game Pass. And don’t miss our ongoing coverage of the game right here on Lucasfilm.com.
