Indiana Jones: The Golden Circle It may not be doing well in sales, according to a source, SneakersSO. This expert, known for accurately predicting gaming industry trends, suggests that the latest Indiana Jones game faces challenges.
In a recent forum post, SneakersSO mentioned that the game‘s revenue is disappointing, hinting that it hasn’t clicked with audiences or made the most of its well-known franchise.
The insider also talked about the way Disney handles licensing deals, highlighting that Disney focuses on creative alignment and licensing fees rather than direct involvement in negotiations. This raises concerns about whether the game‘s poor performance could affect future Indiana Jones projects. SneakersSO speculated that Microsoft’s Matt Booty might have started talking to Disney’s outside managers about terms for a new game in the series.
The game‘s revenue performance is not going well. Disney’s business practices are typically such that they do not directly involve negotiations. It is not advisable to attribute personality to a large corporation. My personal experience working with Disney has shown me that the process is simple if the pitch is good and the creative guidelines are followed, with the main requirement being payment of the licensing costs. I speculate that Booty may have contacted Disney’s outside management to discuss the terms of a potential new standalone game.
Indiana Jones: The Golden Circle was one of the most anticipated games of this year due to its connection to a beloved franchise and top developers. It was also a major risk for Microsoft as they released it on game Pass for PC and Xbox consoles, using it to promote their subscription service alongside other big releases like Black Ops 6.
Disney’s licensing practices are simple but strict, and the game‘s poor sales could make future negotiations for Indiana Jones games more challenging. Whether this will lead to a change in strategy for the series or is just a temporary setback remains to be seen.
Fans are likely waiting for official statements or updates regarding Indiana Jones’ future in games.
Indiana Jones: The Golden Circle It is currently available for PC and Xbox Series S|X and will be released for PS5 in early 2025.
