Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has a warning message about the Nazi elements in the game
, by Thibaut
Before we begin our epic adventure in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, we get a long message on screen to warn us about some of the elements present in the game.
With the story set in 1937, of course there will be some strong references to Nazism. According to Video Games Chronicle, you can burn Nazi propaganda posters to gain experience, and we'll face some uniformed Nazi officers.
As such, MachineGames has put a message warning the user of what they'll encounter when launching the game.
"Please note that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a fictional story, inspired by historical events and characters. Names, characters, organizations, locations, and events are either imaginary or depicted in a fictionalized manner, not intended to disrespect any historical or cultural beliefs."
"The story and contents of this game are not intended to and should not be construed in any way to condone, glorify, or endorse the beliefs, ideologies, events, actions, persons, or behavior of the Nazi and fascist regimes, nor any other regimes or to trivialize any war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity."
MachineGames, which is the studio behind the latest Wolfenstein games too, had to remove references to Nazism from the German editions of the game. Although the law has relaxed in recent years, no one knows whether Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will come out in Germany as is.
