Sure thing! Here’s a human-style rewrite:

So, I was watching the Xbox Games Showcase. Kind of had half an eye on it while making coffee. Anyway, they had a bunch of unexpected stuff, and one thing that snagged my attention was “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.” Folks were buzzing about this possibility that MachineGames might drop some new story bits for it. And, bingo! That’s exactly what happened.
They spilled the beans about a new DLC called “Order of the Giants.” Sounds grand, right? It’s supposed to really vibe with the Indiana Jones feel—sort of like how Great Circle did. If you didn’t know, Great Circle had this weird release hiccup. I mean, people couldn’t figure out which console got it when, and it left us all scratching our heads. But this time, they’ve promised to dodge that mess.
MachineGames, if you’re curious, worked on those recent Wolfenstein games. And guess what? They’re under this big umbrella with Bethesda and all those folks, since ZeniMax got snatched up by Microsoft for a pretty massive chunk of change—like, over 8 billion dollars. So yeah, Xbox wanted Great Circle to be exclusive to them initially. Only later did they go, “Hey, let’s share this with PlayStation folks too,” and pushed it there by April 2025. Xbox says it’s because they wanna be all about accessibility now. Who can tell?
Okay, here comes “Order of the Giants,” riding in on its horse in Roman armor or something. They made the big reveal at the showcase on June 8, and the expansion is set to drop September 4—mark your calendars, people—across Xbox, Windows, and PlayStation. So, finally, everyone gets to play nice together from day one. Hopefully, no more of that “who’s playing what when?” drama.
With this simultaneous launch, it feels like Xbox is inching away from their exclusivity island. And honestly, I think it’s better for us gamers. We all get to dive into the adventure hand in hand, or screen by screen, whatever works. Who knows? Maybe this synchronized launch will make “Order of the Giants” a big deal—a giant leap from the base game’s bumpy start. Here’s hoping, right?
