Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has confirmed. She shared the news on X with a photo of the game’s script. MachineGames then posted its own confirmation and showed actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson filming a scene. Both will return as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker. No release date or platforms have been announced.
Here is what Sharma said, what the script shows, who returns, and what else is known so far.
Wolfenstein 3 Officially in Production at MachineGames
Sharma revealed the game in a post on X. She called Wolfenstein “one of gaming’s most important franchises” and said she looks forward to sharing more.
Her post included a photo of the script. The image shows little beyond the name of the first chapter, which is “Nazitraz.” The script also confirms BJ Blazkowicz is coming back.
MachineGames posted its own message on X: “His reputation precedes him. Wolfenstein 3 is in production.” The post included a behind-the-scenes image of Bloom and Wilson recording a scene together. Motion capture is currently underway.
Wolfenstein 3 Release Date and Platforms
Wolfenstein 3 has no release date yet. No platforms have been announced either.
Sharma said more information will come later. The only concrete production detail so far is the motion capture work shown in the MachineGames post.
Wolfenstein 3 Cast
Brian Bloom will return as BJ Blazkowicz. Debra Wilson will return as Grace Walker. MachineGames confirmed both through the behind-the-scenes image.
No other cast members have been named.
MachineGames Wolfenstein Timeline
MachineGames took over the series in 2014 with Wolfenstein: The New Order. It was the sixth Wolfenstein game overall and the first in the studio’s run.
The series has been quiet for 7 years, and the last mainline game came out 9 years ago. MachineGames spent that time on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
MachineGames Said Wolfenstein Was Always a Trilogy
MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson spoke about the series last year in an interview with Noclip. He said the team has always seen the story as a trilogy. According to him, the plans for BJ’s arc across three games existed while the team worked on The New Order.
He also said the studio was not done with Wolfenstein. His words: “We have a story to tell.”
Reports about a third Wolfenstein game had circulated for some time. The Sharma and MachineGames posts are the first official word.
A TV series based on the rebooted Wolfenstein timeline is also in development at Amazon.
Sharma made the announcement ahead of Xbox’s 25th anniversary on November 15, 2026. Other Xbox studios shared updates around the same time.
id Software said it is working on its next game, directed by Hugo Martin. Halo: Campaign Evolved will also get a free Firefight horde mode update later this winter.
