Xbox confirms Wolfenstein 3 is in development at MachineGames
Xbox confirmed Wolfenstein 3 is in production at MachineGames during its 25th anniversary event in Seattle, with B.J. Blazkowicz and Grace Walker voice actors returning.
Xbox has confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is in production at MachineGames. The announcement was made at the Xbox 25th anniversary event at Xbox Fanfest in Seattle, and Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed the news on X. The studio id Software, which is closely tied to the franchise, co-announced the project in a post.
The post included two visual teasers: a script page and a motion-capture photo. Those images offer the first concrete glimpse of the project's development, although the companies have not yet shared further details about the game itself. They have promised more information at a later date.
Two key cast members are expected to return. Brian Bloom, who plays B.J. Blazkowicz, and Debra Wilson, who plays Grace Walker, are both returning to their roles, giving the new game continuity with earlier entries in the series.
The most recent installment, Wolfenstein II, was released in 2017 to strong reviews. The franchise was then put on pause while MachineGames developed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which launched in 2024. The return to the series marks the studio's renewed focus on the Wolfenstein franchise.
MachineGames head Jerk Gustafsson has said that B.J. Blazkowicz's story is planned as a trilogy. Wolfenstein 3 is therefore the second chapter in a narrative arc the studio has already mapped out, rather than a standalone project.
The franchise is also expanding beyond games. Amazon is developing a Wolfenstein television series, which would extend the property's reach into another medium.
The announcement comes as Xbox marks its 25th anniversary on November 15, and as id Software celebrates its 35th year. Both milestones provided the backdrop for the reveal, which places Wolfenstein 3 among the highlights of the company's anniversary showcase.
