Xbox Confirms Wolfenstein 3 Is in Production

MachineGames is producing Wolfenstein 3, the third mainline game in the studio’s modern Wolfenstein series. Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson will return as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker, respectively.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced the project on Nov. 13 during Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Her announcement included a photograph that appears to show the game’s script. Sharma described Wolfenstein as one of gaming’s important franchises and indicated that more information will follow.

MachineGames confirmed the project in a social media post containing the message, “His reputation precedes him.” The post included the script photograph and an image from a motion-capture session.

Bloom has voiced BJ Blazkowicz in the recent Wolfenstein games. Wilson played Grace Walker, the leader of the resistance group that BJ joins in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

Xbox has not announced a release date, release window or platforms for Wolfenstein 3. No gameplay footage or story details have been released. The project is currently described as being in production.

Wolfenstein 3 will follow Wolfenstein: The New Order, released in 2014, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, released in 2017. The second game ended with BJ and the resistance fighting the Nazi regime.

MachineGames worked on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle after The New Colossus. The studio also released the game’s Order of Giants downloadable expansion. Previous job listings and casting calls had indicated that MachineGames planned another mainline Wolfenstein game.
