Xbox Announces Wolfenstein 3 in Development at MachineGames

OPA WIRE, Nov 13 (OPA) — Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed the development of Wolfenstein 3 on Thursday, sharing a photo of a script and confirming that production is actively moving forward. The announcement follows a long hiatus for the iconic franchise since Bethesda’s MachineGames released Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017.

MachineGames confirmed the project is currently in production, accompanying the announcement with a photo from a recent motion-capture session. According to reports from IGN, actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson are set to reprise their roles as protagonist William Joseph “BJ” Blazkowicz and Grace Walker, respectively, appearing in the production images.

The upcoming title marks a return to the single-player narrative focus of the series. The last mainline release, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, launched in 2017 and continued the story of Blazkowicz in an alternate 1960s timeline where Nazi Germany won the Second World War. The franchise also saw the release of Wolfenstein: Youngblood in 2019, a cooperative spin-off focusing on Blazkowicz’s twin daughters.

Additional details regarding the plot, platforms, and release window remain scarce as production continues. Sharma noted that the studio looks forward to sharing more information as development progresses on the highly anticipated sequel.
