Raiders of the Lost Ark legacy lives on through video games
• “The Order of Giants” DLC drops on September 4, 2025
• Adventures will unfold beneath Rome, through Vatican crypts, sewers, Tiber River
• Steam Deck support now verified—expect solid on-the-go play

The Order of Giants brings Indiana on a perilous journey beneath Rome’s ancient streets. Expect cathedral crypts, Vatican intrigue, river-side exploration, and confrontations with cultists of Mithras. It’s Bethesda and MachineGames’ first story expansion, promising fresh puzzles, lore about Nephilim giants, and action consistent with the Raiders of the Lost Ark adventure style.

Platform updates include Steam Deck certification, confirmed in May 2025. While Steam Deck gameplay may require some graphical tweaks—like lowering texture settings or limiting FPS—the experience is now officially supported. Expect occasional frame drops, but a portable Indiana Jones journey is on the horizon.

Community buzz is already heating up. On Reddit, fans speculate the DLC will unlock three significant areas: new Vatican zones, inner-city Rome, and the Tiber River system. Estimates range from 5 to 10 hours of content—far more immersive than a single-level add‑on. Previews from Xbox Wire and PC Gamer confirm all this is launching on September 4, 2025.

Here’s what to expect when the DLC arrives:

  • New Environments: Vatican halls, Rome’s streets, Tiber River, and catacombs
  • Rich Storytelling: Dive deeper into Nephilim mythology and secret cults
  • Puzzle Design: Intricate Roman-era engineering and underground labyrinths
  • Combat & Stealth: Face off against cultists using whip, stealth, and wits

With GREAT CIRCLE first released in December 2024 (Windows, Xbox) and April 2025 (PS5), this DLC marks the most significant expansion to the Indiana Jones gaming franchise yet. The strong community response suggests that passion for Raiders of the Lost Ark continues—even decades later.

There’s still no word on a direct movie sequel. But for fans longing for original adventure vibes, this DLC offers a strong modern alternative—complete with the thrill, exploration, and suspense that made Raiders of the Lost Ark iconic.
