The first look trailer of the game revealed that it will be a first-person single-player adventure game that will see players play as Indy and go on globe-trotting adventures, looking for clues and solving a mystery.

The game will allow players to “see and feel what Indy sees and feels” through the first-person perspective. The combat and gameplay mechanics with hand-to-hand and whip-based combat as well as spider-crawling and plane hopping look impressive and thrilling.
The stunning graphics combined with discovery elements such as puzzle-solving in ancient temples make the adventure much more exciting. The game will feature several tools and “clever ways” for players to overcome obstacles and almost everything available can be used to gain an advantage against enemies.
The iconic whip is one of the most useful tools that players will be able to use in the game and whether it is for traversal or disarming the enemies, the whip is your best friend. Moreover, it can also be combined with other combat tools. Other characters also have important parts to play in the story of the game with Gina, an investigative reporter as Indy’s companion and the villain, Emmerich Voss.
