With a new Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct pencilled in for next Friday with new looks at four upcoming games including Obsidian’s Avowed and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, keen internet sleuths look to have unearthed what could possibly be the full title of Wolfenstein: The New Order developer MachineGames’ in-development Indiana Jones game.

A trademark filed by Lucasfilm via the European Union Intellectual Property Office in 2022 for “The Great Circle” also seemingly corroborates this further:

Of course, trademarks and domain registrations don’t always guarantee a final product and there’s always the chance that these particular registrations relate to another project entirely, but given the timing with the upcoming showcase it’s very plausible that we’ll see this title revealed on the day.
