Wolfenstein fans have waited years for the next game. Now the wait seems to come to an end with Wolfenstein 3 officially in development. Xbox Asha Sharma has confirmed this update on X (formerly Twitter) that the upcoming Wolfenstein game is under development at MachineGames.
The post reads, “One of gaming's most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more.”
The most interesting part of the announcement includes an image of the script page of the upcoming game. Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson are set to return as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker. However, there's still no word on the release date or platforms.
The new game will reportedly follow Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. MachineGames has shared some updates for the upcoming entry, including a motion capture session, giving fans another look at the project. However, the script doesn’t reveal anything about the storyline, so players have to wait until the next update comes.

MachineGames has spent years working on the Wolfenstein series. In the meantime, the studio has developed The New Order, The Old Blood, The New Colossus, and Youngblood. However, after a while, it moved to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
After years of silence, again, the studio is back with a new Wolfenstein game, and the experience of other genres may help the game to be better than its predecessors. The studio may bring better story scenes, larger areas to explore, and more ways for players to interact with the world.
The combat mechanisms may also get a new makeover. However, MachineGames will need to keep the fast action and gunplay that made the older games so popular.
