Wolfenstein 3 on the Horizon: B.J. Blazkowicz Prepares to Conclude His Story

One of the most iconic and intense FPS franchises, Wolfenstein, is breaking its silence after a long wait. Recent industry reports indicate that MachineGames has started working on the legendary series’ third main installment, Wolfenstein 3.

The Trilogy Nears Its Finale

MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson previously stated that the modern Wolfenstein series was always envisioned as a trilogy. The third game, set to fill the massive gap left by 2017’s The New Colossus, will serve as the main chapter that concludes B.J. Blazkowicz’s war against the Nazi regime. While the 2019 spin-off Youngblood took us into the future, fans have been waiting for years to see how the story of the original “terror master” Blazkowicz comes to an end.

Development Process and Timing

Although MachineGames is currently busy with the Indiana Jones project, reports suggest the studio has increased its capacity and is already well past pre-production for Wolfenstein 3. Another exciting detail from the leaks is the timing: the release of Wolfenstein 3 is planned to coincide with Amazon’s upcoming Wolfenstein TV series, aiming for a major brand synergy.

What Can We Expect?

There’s no official announcement yet, but expectations for Wolfenstein 3 are sky-high:

• The Final Chapter: The story will likely cover the famous American Revolution period between New Colossus and Youngblood, depicting the fall of the Nazi regime.

• Next-Gen Technology: The new game engine technologies used in the Indiana Jones project are expected to take Wolfenstein’s signature combat feel to the next level.

• Xbox Game Pass: With Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, it’s almost certain that the game will be available on Game Pass from day one.

Wolfenstein 3 is set to reclaim the FPS throne with its gripping story and pure action. The official announcement is expected at one of this year’s major gaming events, most likely the Xbox Showcase.
