As part of the Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebration at Xbox Fanfest in Seattle today, developer MachineGames confirmed what had long been rumored: that Wolfenstein 3 is in development.
MachineGames will once again be developing it. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus was released to rave reviews in 2017, but MachineGames then put the series on hold to develop 2024’s absolutely stellar Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
But now, Wolfenstein is back on the front burner at the Swedish studio. “Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at Machine Games,” Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed on X. “One of gaming’s most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more.”

MachineGames added on to Sharma’s post, which shows a page of the Wolfenstein 3 script, saying simply, “His reputation precedes him,” referring to the action described on the script page.
