The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's The Order Of Giants DLC. The Great Circle launched to critical acclaim in December 2024 on Xbox and PC before expanding to PS5 in April. While The Order of Giants was announced before launch as a season perk for buying the upgraded edition of the game, details on the expansion have been minimal until now.

A new Xbox Games Showcase trailer ended with a September 4, 2025 release date for The Order Of Giants. This time, the expansion will hit all platforms on the same date, including PS5. It will also be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The trailer highlights a return to the game's Rome area to venture deeper beneath the earth and into a lost city of Antioch.

The Order Of Giants Introduces A New Cult

Fresh Potential Foes For Indy To Face

Order of Giants cult Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle featured a very complete adventure, it did hint at some dangling threads, one being the involvement of the giant Nephilim in the game. The new trailer teases a historical cult associated with these Biblical figures, with Troy Baker in the role of Indiana Jones intoning "they worshiped the giants" over images of unearthed chambers beneath Rome.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle valiantly attempts to recapture what makes the movies special, and like Indy himself, it usually lands on its feet.

The trailer teases the order with a threatening shot of masked figures, but exactly how Indy's run-in with this cult will play out remains to be seen. At any rate, the dungeon-crawling and Biblical themes are classic Indiana Jones material, as is Indy's quest to find a "secret relic" and return it to the Holy See.

The Order Of Giants Could Be Another Classic Adventure

Indiana Jones & The Great Circle Set A Great Precedent

For me, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle provided a rare instance of finishing a huge AAA adventure and immediately being ready for more, so I've been eagerly anticipating The Order of Giants since. While the teaser trailer is more focused on images than gameplay, it certainly looks like more Great Circle, and that should be more than enough for me.

I would have loved to get a shadow drop of the DLC at the Xbox Games Showcase, but a September 4 release date is a lot better than nothing. Hopefully, MachineGames is also in the early stages of cooking up a sequel to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, although a return to Wolfenstein also wouldn't be anything to complain about.
