Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has officially confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is in production at Swedish studio MachineGames. The announcement came on November 12, 2026, during Xbox's 25th anniversary celebrations.
Sharma posted on X: “Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames. One of gaming’s most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more.” The post included a page from the script of the first chapter, titled “Nazitraz,” showing BJ Blazkowicz in an interrogation cell with characters Otto and Fergus.
What we know so far
MachineGames confirmed the production and shared a motion-capture session photo featuring Brian Bloom (voice and mocap for BJ Blazkowicz) and Debra Wilson (Grace Walker from Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus). Both actors are returning to their roles.
The studio had previously expressed interest in completing the trilogy that began with Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014) and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (2017). Recent MachineGames projects include Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Quake expansions.
There are no details yet on platforms, release date, or further plot information beyond the script excerpt. Bethesda Softworks publishes the series.
Why this matters
Wolfenstein is one of the most significant action FPS franchises, known for blending intense combat with an alternate-history World War II narrative. MachineGames’ return after the success of Indiana Jones creates high expectations among series fans.
