Nolan North Joins Troy Baker in Indiana Jones PS5 Game

MachineGames' highly anticipated Indiana Jones and The Great Circle finally swoops onto PlayStation 5 on April 15 for early access players, with the full global launch arriving April 17. Bethesda confirmed the news alongside an brilliant marketing trailer featuring gaming's ultimate adventurer crossover.

An Adventurer's Summit

The announcement trailer serves up a delicious meta moment as Troy Baker (the new voice of Indy) shares screen time with Nolan North, the legendary voice behind PlayStation's Uncharted hero Nathan Drake. This playful meeting of gaming's most famous treasure hunters makes perfect sense - Drake's entire persona owes a debt to Harrison Ford's iconic archaeologist.

What makes this particularly spicy? Microsoft-owned Bethesda cleverly casting PlayStation's premiere adventurer in their marketing. While North never directly references Drake or Uncharted, every line delivery oozes that signature roguish charm fans recognize instantly.

The scene unfolds like classic Drake mischief - North jokes about breaking into their ornate meeting room, checking his watch like armed goons might burst in any moment. When Baker explains Indy's whip-centric combat style, North deadpans: "I'm more of a sidearms kinda guy... jeans... henley..." to which Baker fires back: "Somehow always half-tucked."

Their banter reaches peak nirvana when discussing artifact recovery philosophies - North wants to auction them, Baker insists on museum donations. It's the perfect passing-of-the-torch moment between gaming's two most beloved adventurers, now united across console divides.

The Great Console Convergence

This PS5 launch (four months after Xbox/PC debut) represents Microsoft's latest multiplatform push, following Forza Horizon 5 and the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages. The strategy clearly pays off - The Great Circle has already enchanted over 4 million players through Game Pass, with PS5 numbers set to significantly boost that tally.

In a heartwarming twist, Harrison Ford himself endorsed Troy Baker's performance, telling The Wall Street Journal: "You don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul... He did a brilliant job, and it didn't take AI to do it." High praise from the original Indy himself!
