Gallery: We Visited Bethesda's 'Marshall College' To Play Indiana Jones And The Great Circle

So, we're going to throw a load of pictures from the preview event into this article to give you an idea of how it all went down. The team at Bethesda certainly pulled out all the stops with the location - this was an awesome-looking building, and one definitely fit for an Indiana Jones event.

Once we made it through the grand entrance, it was clear that we were entering a recreation of Marshall College - the famous school where Mr. Jones preaches his teachings about archaeology. There were lots of cool displays on show here - featuring iconic artefacts, picture-framed locations, Indiana Jones props and a whole lot more.

Taking centre stage in the prop realm was a big old puzzle artefact that attendees could have a go at cracking. We steered clear of trying — because we didn't want to look that silly in front of our peers — but from what we could tell, most of them were having trouble cracking it anyway.

Here's how the puzzle box appeared from the outside - and we later found out that it was housing Bethesda's custom Indiana Jones Xbox Series X console.

After sheepishly moving away from the big scary puzzle, we were shepherded upstairs for a presentation on the title from MachineGames - followed by our extended hands-on time with the game of course. Unfortunately, we couldn't snap any pictures up there due to the amount of screens switched on showing bits of the game - but trust us when we say the upper room was as grand as the lower entrance to Marshall College.

One cool little bonus though, was that on the way out of the demo section, Bethesda had set up Indiana's desk area - featuring all of the iconic props and artefacts you'd expect to see. We'll throw a few images of that whole setup down below, and you can see the area in full view as our featured image right up at the top of this article.

We'll leave you all with a few bonus pictures down below to showcase some of the other cool exhibits Bethesda had set up, but all-in-all, this was a great event and the team did an awesome job at making it feel suitably Indiana Jones-y. Oh, and before we go, a quick reminder that we'll all be fully immersed with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on December 9th with Xbox Game Pass.
