Fans of the iconic Wolfenstein franchise finally have a reason to celebrate. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has officially confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is in production at MachineGames, bringing the legendary first-person shooter series one step closer to its highly anticipated return.
The announcement was made on November 12, 2026, as part of Xbox’s 25th-anniversary celebrations. Sharma shared the news on social media, describing Wolfenstein as one of gaming’s most important franchises and praising MachineGames for its work on the series.
BJ Blazkowicz Is Set to Return
Alongside the announcement, MachineGames shared a glimpse of the upcoming game’s script, offering fans an early look at what appears to be the opening chapter, titled “Nazitraz.”
The developer also confirmed the return of actors Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson, who will reprise their roles as William “BJ” Blazkowicz and Grace Walker.
Although the studio has not revealed specific story details, the confirmation suggests that the next instalment will continue the narrative established in previous games.
What We Know About Wolfenstein 3 So Far
MachineGames has officially confirmed that development is underway, but several important details remain unknown.
There is currently no confirmed release date, gameplay trailer, pricing information or official list of supported platforms. Xbox and Bethesda have also not clarified whether the game will be exclusive to Microsoft’s ecosystem.
The announcement is particularly significant because the last major mainline entry, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, launched in 2017. Since then, MachineGames has focused on other projects, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
A New Chapter for the Wolfenstein Franchise
The confirmation of Wolfenstein 3 marks an important moment for fans who have been waiting years to see BJ Blazkowicz return.
With MachineGames officially back in production on the franchise, expectations are high for the next chapter. More information is expected as development progresses, although the studio has not yet provided a timeline for its next reveal.
