Wolfenstein 3 Confirmed by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma in Studio Reveal
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced that Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames, nearly a decade after the 2017 release of Wolfenstein II.
Gaming fans received official confirmation that Wolfenstein 3 is currently in production at MachineGames. The upcoming project was revealed by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma through a brief online tease that included the game's title alongside a script photograph. According to the announcement, the studio behind the franchise revival is actively working on the next mainline installment.
The confirmation arrives shortly after Bethesda disclosed that the upcoming title in another major franchise will be called The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. In her social media post regarding the new title, Sharma stated, “Looking forward to sharing more.” Meanwhile, the development studio also confirmed the project through a separate post featuring a behind-the-scenes photograph taken during a motion-capture session.
Cast Members and Franchise History
Reporting from IGN indicates that familiar talent will return for the upcoming sequel. Actors Brian Bloom, who portrays protagonist William Joseph “BJ” Blazkowicz, and Debra Wilson, who plays Grace Walker, appear to be the featured performers in the motion-capture session photo.
The franchise has remained dormant for mainline entries since the release of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017. That title continued the narrative of Blazkowicz within an alternate 1960s setting governed by Nazi Germany following the Second World War. Additionally, a co-op spinoff titled Wolfenstein: Youngblood debuted in 2019, focusing on the twin daughters of the primary protagonist.
