Indiana Jones Patch Notes – April 10, 2025
NEW FEATURES
New Adventure Books
Players can learn a lot from reading, and in Update 4, two new Adventure Books have been added, giving Indy whip-tastic options in combat!
- With the “Open Season” Adventure Book, hitting an opponent with the whip temporarily causes them to take more damage from subsequent attacks.
- “Sleight of Hand” lets Indy pull an enemy’s weapon toward him after disarming them with the whip.

Based on community feedback, tons of new options and features have been added:
- Players can disable the center dot on the HUD (though leaving it enabled is recommended for those prone to motion sickness).
