Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced that Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames. The announcement came during Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations, and Bethesda also shared the news in its own post.
Bethesda shared a photo from a mocap session confirming that actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson will return to reprise their roles as B.J. and Grace Walker, respectively. Sharma shared a photograph of a script page alongside the announcement. MachineGames followed with a photograph from a motion capture session.
MachineGames has said that it always planned for a trilogy of Wolfenstein games featuring B.J.
MachineGames, alongside Bethesda, has also released three Wolfenstein spin-offs: the prequel The Old Blood in 2015, 2019’s Youngblood, which featured B.J.’s twin daughters as protagonists, and the VR experience Cyberpilot, also released in 2019. The studio took a break from the Wolfenstein franchise to develop 2024’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
No release date, platforms or subtitle were given. The announcement also includes no gameplay footage or hardware requirements. MachineGames says it will share more when it is ready.
Wolfenstein 3 marks the first mainline Wolfenstein entry from MachineGames since Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017, and the first developed by the studio under Xbox ownership following Microsoft’s acquisition of parent company ZeniMax Media in March 2021.
