Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced on November 12th.
Sharma shared the news on X (formerly Twitter) as part of Xbox's 25th anniversary celebrations. "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," she wrote. MachineGames followed with a post of its own: "His reputation precedes him. Wolfenstein 3 is in production."
The reveal came as Xbox closed its eight-city FanFest tour in Seattle, the city where Xbox began 25 years ago. In its recap of the day's announcements, Xbox said MachineGames is "hard at work" on the game, with Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson returning as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker. "This is a franchise with an important place in gaming history, and I'm excited to see the team continue its story," Sharma said in the recap.
No release date, platforms or subtitle were given. The same event brought a free Firefight update for Halo: Campaign Evolved, a Slaughter Mode for DOOM: The Dark Ages on November 16th and new Fable gameplay. Sharma also confirmed that id Software's next project is in development.
