Wolfenstein 3 Is Officially in Development at MachineGames

The rumors are over. MachineGames has confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is in development, turning long-running speculation into an official announcement. The news arrived during Xbox's 25th anniversary celebration at Xbox Fanfest in Seattle, where the studio made the confirmation to the fans in attendance.

MachineGames is Bethesda's studio in Uppsala, Sweden, and it has carried the Wolfenstein series since 2014's The New Order. That game reimagined B.J. Blazkowicz's fight against the Nazis as a story-driven shooter with a darker, more personal tone. The studio followed it with The Old Blood, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and the co-op spinoff Youngblood, and it later applied the same craft for big-screen-style spectacle to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

The confirmation itself is the headline. As reported, the announcement establishes that the game is in development and nothing more. Release timing, platforms, and story details were not part of the report, so anything beyond the confirmation should be treated as unknown until the studio or Bethesda shares it.

For fans, the news closes a gap that had been open since the last mainline entry. The Wolfenstein name has a loyal following built on its mix of loud, combat-heavy action and alternate-history storytelling, and a new numbered entry gives that audience something concrete to look forward to. Expect more information to follow as the project moves toward a reveal.
