What was announced

Sharma shared the news in a post on X, writing: "Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames. One of gaming's most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more." The post included a photo of a script page from the game, headed "Chapter 01 - Nazitraz," opening on an interrogation cell scene with BJ Blazkowicz.

MachineGames followed with its own post: "His reputation precedes him. Wolfenstein 3 is in production." The studio also shared a photo from a motion-capture session. Xbox Wire confirmed that actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson are reprising their roles as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker. The announcement came as Xbox closed its eight-city FanFest tour in Seattle, the city where the first Xbox launched 25 years ago.

What we still do not know

Xbox and MachineGames gave no release date, no platforms, and no subtitle. There is no trailer yet. The announcement confirms the game exists and is in production, and little else. Sharma said she looks forward to sharing more, without saying when.

A trilogy nine years in the making

The last mainline Wolfenstein game, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, launched in

2017. MachineGames followed it with the co-op spin-off Wolfenstein: Youngblood in 2019, then spent the years since on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, released in December

2024. In February, studio director Jerk Gustafsson said the team intended to finish the trilogy. The confirmation came on the same day Xbox also confirmed id Software is working on its next game.

Wolfenstein 3 has no release window yet. MachineGames has not said whether it will come to PlayStation as well as Xbox and PC, or when the next look will arrive.
