It’s been nearly a decade since Bethesda’s MachineGames released Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017, and now Xbox is ready to announce a sequel from the studio. Wolfenstein 3 was officially announced today, just days after Bethesda also confirmed that the next Elder Scrolls game will be called The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel.
In a post, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced the name and a photo of a script. “Looking forward to sharing more,” she said. MachineGames also announced the game in a post, saying the game is “in production” and sharing a photo from a motion-capture session. IGN reports that Brian Bloom (who plays protagonist William Joseph “BJ” Blazkowicz) and Debra Wilson (who plays Grace Walker) are reprising their roles, and they appear to be the featured actors in the photo.
The last mainline entry, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, launched in 2017 and continued the story of Blazkowicz in an alternate 1960s where Nazi Germany had won the Second World War. Wolfenstein: Youngblood also debuted in 2019 as a co-op spinoff, starring Blazkowicz’s twin daughters.
