„I’m not going to be Indiana Jones. When I’m gone, he’s gone,“ said Harrison Ford, only to be proven wrong with the introduction of a new actor in the game Indiana Jones And The Great Circle. Troy Baker, known for his work in various video games, has taken on the role of the iconic whip-cracking hero, admitting to feeling the weight of the character’s legacy. The game is set after Raiders Of The Lost Ark, with Indy on a mission to stop a mysterious force from falling into the wrong hands.
The Great Circle draws inspiration from the original movies, with Baker immersing himself in Indiana Jones lore by rewatching the films daily. The villain, played by Marios Gavrilis, also delved into the franchise’s history to stay true to its roots. The game adds a twist by combining elements of the classic movies with the intensity of the Wolfenstein series, providing a unique and immersive experience.
Baker’s journey to embody Indiana Jones was emotionally challenging, but he found his stride by focusing on embodying the character rather than imitating him. Despite initially hesitating to take on the role, he recognized the significance of portraying a character like Indy, who values preservation and respect for history above all else.
„Diese gleiche Angst und Bewunderung ist letztendlich der Grund, warum ich die Rolle übernommen habe“, gibt er zu. „Ich wollte einfach, dass Indiana Jones in den richtigen Händen ist.“

Er hat nicht mit Harrison Ford gesprochen, aber Baker hofft, dass er zustimmt
Gavrilis glaubt, dass Fans Bakers Interpretation von Indy „lieben“ werden. „Nicht nur, dass er Harrison Ford wirklich ähnlich ist in der Art, wie er es spielt, sondern man kann immer noch Troy darin spüren. Er hat es perfekt gemacht.“
‚Indiana Jones And The Great Circle‘ erscheint am 9. Dezember für Xbox, PC und Game Pass
