Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirms MachineGames is developing Wolfenstein 3

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma on November 13, 2026 announced on social media that MachineGames is developing Wolfenstein 3, confirming long-running franchise rumours. The post tied the project directly to the studio known for recent entries in the series and indicated more information will be shared later.

After years of rumours, speculation and leaks about a follow-up, Sharma described the series as a major franchise and praised the studio’s work. She posted: "Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at @MachineGames. One of gaming's most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more. pic.twitter.com/YyX8LrbTvh"

A casting call released in February suggested Wolfenstein 3 might introduce a character named Sofiya. The listing described her as "an 8- to 11-year-old Ukrainian orphan who develops a bond with the game's protagonist William "B.J." Blazkowicz." The casting notice was cited in reporting that followed earlier studio hints about the next instalment.

The studio director of MachineGames, Jerk Gustafsson, has reaffirmed his and the studio’s commitment to conclude a trilogy for this franchise. That statement has been presented alongside the sporadic developer clues that preceded Sharma’s social media announcement.

Sharma also released a brief preview of an opening script titled "Nazitraz" identified as appearing in the first chapter, which is said to be one of the most dramatic chapters of the game. No further plot details were provided with that preview.

Neither Microsoft Xbox nor MachineGames has revealed any release timeline or plot for the upcoming game, and no official launch window has been announced. The official confirmation has reassured fans that a third part to the Wolfenstein franchise will be produced.

No release date or additional story information has been disclosed; Sharma wrote she is "Looking forward to sharing more," indicating further updates will be posted by Xbox or MachineGames in due course.
