Xbox confirmed Wolfenstein 3 is now in production at MachineGames. CEO Asha Sharma shared the news on X during the console’s 25th anniversary.
She posted a short note with a script page photo. “Looking forward to sharing more,” she wrote. MachineGames replied with its own post that included a motion-capture session shot.
The series started in 1981 and follows B.J. Blazkowicz fighting Nazis in an alternate World War II. MachineGames made the last two mainline games: 2014’s The New Order and 2017’s The New Colossus, both published by Bethesda.
This is the first Wolfenstein title developed under Xbox after Microsoft bought ZeniMax Media in 2021. According to The Verge, IGN reports that actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson are reprising their roles as Blazkowicz and Grace Walker.
“Looking forward to sharing more.”
The Tea
After nearly a decade without a new mainline entry, fans finally have something concrete to look forward to. The announcement keeps the series alive inside Xbox’s growing Bethesda family and shows the studio is still trusted with one of gaming’s boldest alternate-history stories.
