MachineGames confirms Wolfenstein 3 is in production

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and Swedish developer MachineGames confirmed on 12 November 2026, during Xbox FanFest in Seattle, that Wolfenstein 3 is in production. It will be the first mainline game in the first-person shooter series since Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017.

MachineGames confirmed the returning actors with a photograph of Bloom and Wilson in its motion-capture studio, IGN said. Sharma’s announcement also showed a page of the game’s script. Responding to her post, MachineGames wrote, “His reputation precedes him,” referring to the action on the page.

A planned trilogy

MachineGames developed Wolfenstein: The New Order in 2014 and its sequel, The New Colossus. The studio then put the series on hold to make Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, released in 2024.

In a 2025 interview with Noclip, studio head Jerk Gustafsson said the team had always envisioned Blazkowicz’s story as a trilogy. He said the team had planned what would happen to the character in the second and third games while mapping out The New Order.

Sharma said she looks forward to sharing more. Xbox has not announced a release date or window, supported platforms or a date for further details.
