INDIANA JONES AND THE GREAT CIRCLE Release date: 2024

LEGO HORIZON ADVENTURES Release date: 2024

Funko’s Pop! figures and the many worlds of NBCUniversal are set to collide in this wild upcoming action adventure. It’s an absolute culture clash as characters from the likes of Jurassic World, Jaws, Back to the Future, Shaun of the Dead, Masters of the Universe, Chucky, Battlestar Galactica, The Thing , and more all collide for a Pop!tastic experience either solo or via online co-op.

The next big Indy adventure will be a single player, first-person action-adventure game that’s set between the events of movies Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade . We’re in for a combination of action set pieces and puzzling riddles that will take us all over the world, from the Vatican, to Egypt, the Himalayas, and beyond. And, naturally, Indy’s legendary whip will get plenty of cracking in!

PlayStation’s smash Horizon series is the inspiration for the latest LEGO game, with Aloy and her world brought to life in bricktacular fashion. This distant future sees the land made of LEGO bricks, where massive machines roam the Earth. The story leans heavily into established series lore, while aiming to bring all of the light-hearted fun that we know and love from LEGO games.
