How ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Call of Duty’ Are Pushing Xbox Ahead of PlayStation, Nintendo in a Next Gen Console-Less Holiday Season


For lots of avid gamers this holiday season, there will be Indiana Jones — and then everybody else.

When I saw the movie, I believed it was all real, and I was just enamored with ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ since it came out,” Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer Todd Howard, who created the concept for “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” told Variety. Now, “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” is Xbox’s highest priority for 2024 and comes on the heels of the Oct. 25 launch of the latest addition to the Activision-produced “Call of Duty” series, “Black Ops 6,” which came through Microsoft’s massive Activision Blizzard deal that closed last year. Compared with the rapid-fire, multiplayer action of “Black Ops,” the Indy title is “a more thoughtful adventure game” — which Booty says is well suited to the holiday break, when people have more time on their hands.
