No, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle bears no connection to the story of the alternate reality Wolfenstein saga.
Both Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Wolfenstein feature a charismatic protagonist punching down Nazis in a historical setting. Both games are also developed by MachineGames. Naturally, this has led to questions and speculations among fans of the games as to whether Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Wolfenstein are connected. To answer the question, no. The two games, despite their similarities, are not connected in any way, shape, or form. This, however, does not rule out the possibility of a tongue-in-cheek reference to Wolfenstein in the upcoming Indy game.
Why the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Wolfenstein Are Not Connected
To understand why the two games are not connected, you would first need to understand the two games’ respective timelines. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set in the backdrop of an impending World War 2. Meanwhile, Wolfenstein is set in an alternate timeline in the 1960s when the Nazis won the Second World War
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set in the year 1937. The game sees Indy hop on a globe-trotting adventure. Wolfenstein alternates between the past and the present but mostly focuses on a timeline after the Second World War. In this timeline, the Nazis have won and taken over most of the world. Now, you may wonder if The Great Circle could lead to the story of Wolfenstein. The Nazis in Indiana Jones could win World War 2 and kick off the Wolfenstein timeline. However, two Indiana Jones films debunk this theory.
Debunking the Connection
The first film that debunks this connection is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The film sees Indy in a Cold War setting, dealing with Soviet soldiers. The Nazis lost and are extinct. However, if the saga was linked to Wolfenstein, the Nazis would’ve been present in the timeline.
The second film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny brings back the Nazis in a time-traveling plot. This does open up the possibilities of an alternate Nazi-controlled reality, but Indy defeats the evil men and stops their plans. Thus, Nazis are prominently absent from the Indy timeline.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a self-contained game falling within the Indiana Jones saga. Taking a look at the saga itself shows that the Nazis are wiped out, severing any possibilities of an alternate reality and links to Wolfenstein.
