Indiana Jones Goes on an All-New Adventure in September
The adventures of Indiana Jones are probably done on the big screen, but on the small screen, they're just getting started. Months after the release of the excellent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle video game, the companies behind it just announced some new downloadable content, and it's giant. Literally.
The Order of Giants is the title of the DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it'll be available September 4. In the main game, a giant performed by the late, great Tony Todd plays a crucial role and along the way, Indy gets many, many teases to a deeper mythology with his people. Now, it seems, Indy is going to learn even more when he discovers a whole new city under Rome. Here's the trailer.
The video game The Great Circle is set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade, and The Order of Giants DLC is set during the events of The Great Circle. So, basically, that means any major events that may or may not happen at the end of the game won't be impacted. But a lot will happen anyway.
'What starts out as a standard treasure hunt quickly becomes treacherous as Indy travels deep below the streets of Rome, exploring ancient crypts, visiting new locations like the ruins of the Colosseum, and coming face to face with an enemy that lurks in the shadows,' the official Lucasfilm blog reads. 'Players can expect to solve a number of intricate puzzles while traversing Rome's ancient sewer system, the Cloaca Maxima, and beyond. And in true Indiana Jones fashion, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for danger as members of a frightening cult sneak around in the shadows and attempt to stop Indy through any means. There may even be a few familiar faces making a return too!'
So basically, Bethesda and Machine Games are giving us an entire new section of the game, with a story that works to deepen our understanding of its already fascinating lore. And, it sounds like we might get more Tony Todd too, which is incredibly exciting. His role in the game is already fantastic that the chance to see more of him, and learn more about the ancient, mysterious history that drives his character, could be super cool.
I had an absolute, nostalgic blast playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and was definitely upset when it was over. Now, though I've at least got one more adventure to look forward to before Indy's new game goes off into the sunset.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now available on Xbox Series X | S consoles, PlayStation 5, PC, and Game Pass. The Order of Giants DLC hits all those places September 4.

Tony Award-winning musical, "The Light in the Piazza," takes audience on emotional journey about love
The Tony Award-winning musical, "The Light in the Piazza", is now on stage at the Huntington Theater, but it may not be your typical musical, as some of the characters speak and sing in Italian. But the story about love, hope, growing up, and letting go is universal. The piece takes place in the summer of 1953, as Margaret and Clara Johnson go on vacation in Florence. Tony-nominated actor Emily Skinner portrays Margaret, with Sarah-Anne Martinez taking on the role of Clara. Skinner said, "The show is about love. The show is about romantic love and familial love and maternal love. " "In the beginning, we see how much Clara relies on her mom as not only her eyes to the outside world, her way of understanding the world around her, but also her advocate," explained Martinez. That relationship changes once Clara meets Fabrizio and falls in love. "She has a moment of independence where she says, 'Mom, this is who I am. Will you support me in this journey that I want to go on?' And so Margaret then has to have faith that her daughter is ready to grow into herself. And I think that's so beautiful. That's something that so many people go through with their own mothers or their own parents. That moment of saying, this is who I am. I'm an adult now. See me, and then we can grow together," Martinez told WBZ-TV. A full orchestra accompanies the musical While many modern musicals feature a pop score, the music here is very different. Skinner said, "The Huntington is doing something amazing. We have a full orchestra with the show. That's rare. That's rare even on Broadway nowadays. And to get to hear this big lush, the orchestrations played so gorgeously." Martinez agreed, "It's not only a beautifully orchestrated piece, but it's also emotionally challenging to perform, because it's such a vulnerable moment in her life. And I think that it's so rare to have such a romantic, lush, original score. And so this one is just, it's so special." Director Loretta Grecco's take on the piece is to look at it as a play with music that enhances the storytelling, making an impact. "Not everybody knows about this show, and so some people might come into it knowing the story, knowing they're going to go on this emotional journey, but when you don't know, it's such a beautiful surprise," says Martinzez. "And so I think some people are really taken aback by how deeply this story gets into their hearts." You can see The Light in the Piazza at the Huntington Theater in Boston through Sunday, June 15th.
