It’s official. Nearly a decade after MachineGames unveiled “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus,” the company is working on the next mainline entry in the franchise.
Xbox chief Asha Sharma has been posting on Twitter to celebrate 25 years of the company with this being the biggest announcement today.
She says in her post: “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 original alternate history World War II video games first rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s before MachineGames and Bethesda Softworks publised 2014’s acclaimed reboot “Wolfenstein: The New Order”.
Then came ‘New Colossus’ in 2017 followed by the spin-off titles “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” and “Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot VR” both in 2019.
Microsoft acquired ZeniMax, the parent company of MachineGames, in 2021. In 2024 the company released the very well-regarded “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”.
