Wolfenstein 3 Confirmed to Be in Development at MachineGames
As part of the Xbox's 25th anniversary celebration at Xbox Fanfest in Seattle today, developer MachineGames and franchise creators id Software confirmed what had long been rumored: that Wolfenstein 3 is in development.
MachineGames and franchise creators id Software have confirmed the development of Wolfenstein 3, the long-rumored installment in the popular series. The announcement was made during Xbox's 25th anniversary celebration at Xbox Fanfest in Seattle today. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, released in 2017, received widespread acclaim, but MachineGames had taken a break from the series to work on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for 2024.
However, the Swedish studio is now focusing on bringing Wolfenstein 3 to life. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed the news on X, praising MachineGames for their remarkable work. The announcement was supported by a page of the Wolfenstein 3 script, with id Software and MachineGames stating "His reputation precedes him" in reference to the script.
Fans of the series will be pleased to hear that returning actors Brian Bloom as B.J. Blazkowicz and Debra Wilson as Grace Walker will reprise their roles. This confirmation comes after MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson hinted at a trilogy in an interview with Noclip, stating that the developers "still had the plan for at least the second and third installments" of BJ's story.
Wolfenstein fans have more to look forward to as the first-person shooter series is also being developed into a TV series for Amazon. The official 25th anniversary of Xbox takes place this Sunday, November 15, while id Software celebrates its 35th anniversary this year.
