Should that be 'Todd Howard and the Great Circle'?

While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is being developed by Wolfenstein studio MachineGames, it was Bethesda Games Studios' Todd Howard that inspired a "major plot device."

In Edge issue 402, lead writer Tommy Tordsson-Bjork shared that "Todd Howard was the instigator of our major plot device, the Great Circle, which he has been mulling for many years. With that seed of a story, we gathered a team of us at MachineGames and started working out the bones of what would eventually become our narrative framework."

His input and feedback didn't stop there, though, as creative director Axel Torvenius says,  "He's been seeing everything that we're doing, and he's part of the process." Howard has been seen as "invaluable as a source of feedback" for MachineGames. His love for the property has proven he "knows what he wants to see in an Indy story," according to Tordsson-Bjork.
