Multiple reports indicate that Bethesda's MachineGames studio is working on Wolfenstein 3, the third main entry in its rebooted series. The project follows the acclaimed Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, with development confirmed after the studio's recent Indiana Jones game. A reveal could come later this year at an Xbox event.
Reports from Windows Central and Kotaku, corroborated by GameSpot, confirm that MachineGames is developing Wolfenstein 3. This would mark the first mainline entry since 2017's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, following the 2019 co-op spin-off Wolfenstein: Youngblood, which received mixed reception. The studio, known for its Nazi-blasting alternate-history shooters, most recently released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in 2024.
In September 2025, MachineGames creative director Axel Torvenius expressed intent to continue the story of protagonist William "B.J." Blazkowicz. In a Noclip documentary, he stated, "We have always seen this as a [Wolfenstein] trilogy... So I think that's important to say, because--at least, I hope--that we're not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell."
The Wolfenstein series originated in 1981 with Castle Wolfenstein and gained prominence with 1992's Wolfenstein 3D from id Software, a foundational first-person shooter. MachineGames rebooted the franchise in 2014 with The New Order, followed by The Old Blood in 2015 and The New Colossus in 2017, praised for their satirical take on fascism.
No release details are available, but the game may align with a forthcoming Prime Video live-action Wolfenstein TV series, announced last year and still in early stages. A potential reveal is speculated for Xbox's summer showcase in 2026, though MachineGames is also reportedly working on a multiplayer title. Bethesda has not commented officially.
