Wolfenstein 3 Is on the Way: B.J. Blazkowicz Prepares to Finish the Fight

One of the most iconic and intense franchises in the FPS world, Wolfenstein, is breaking its long silence. According to recent industry reports, MachineGames has started working on the third main installment of the legendary series: Wolfenstein 3.

The Trilogy Is Finally Completing

MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson had previously stated that the modern Wolfenstein series was always planned as a trilogy. The third game, set to fill the huge gap left by The New Colossus released in 2017, will be the main chapter that concludes B.J. Blazkowicz’s war against the Nazi regime. Although the 2019 spin-off Youngblood took us into the future, fans have been waiting for years to see how the story of the true “Terror-Billy” Blazkowicz will end.

Development Process and Timing

While MachineGames is currently busy with the Indiana Jones project, reports say the studio has ramped up its capacity and already moved past pre-production for Wolfenstein 3. Another exciting leak is about timing: Wolfenstein 3 is expected to launch in parallel 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 Act: The story will likely cover the iconic American Revolution period between New Colossus and Youngblood, depicting the downfall of the Nazi regime.

• Modern Technology: Next-gen game engine technologies used in the Indiana Jones project are expected to take Wolfenstein’s signature gunplay to the next level.

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

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