"Word is out that Bethesda's MachineGames is working on Wolfenstein 3. The possibility of the game was mentioned in a post by Windows Central's Jez Corden, and Kotaku can confirm it's true from our own sources. The Swedish developer, which most recently knocked it out of the park with 2024's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, is returning to the Nazi-blasting franchise for the first time since 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood."
"As Bethesda Softworks approaches its 40th anniversary (the company's first game was 1986's Gridiron! for the Amiga and Atari ST!), and with a Wolfenstein TV series in the works to follow Fallout onto Amazon Prime, there's not really a better time to revive the long-loved series, and given MachineGames' previous success with the title, it seems like the right team to be doing it."
"Youngblood was, in fairness, somewhat disappointing-the spin-off co-op game featuring the daughters of usual main character B.J. Blazkowicz was too short and somewhat adrift. But MachineGames' previous entries, The New Order, The Old Blood, and The New Colossus, were all tremendous. The first of these was once described by Kotaku as "one of the best shooters ever," and the latter still offers one of the finest ways to punch Nazis."
MachineGames is developing Wolfenstein 3, marking the studio's return to the franchise after 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The developer most recently released 2024's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Bethesda Softworks nears its 40th anniversary, and a Wolfenstein TV series is planned to follow Fallout on Amazon Prime, creating momentum for the franchise. Youngblood received criticism for being short and adrift. Earlier MachineGames entries—The New Order, The Old Blood, and The New Colossus—were widely praised. The Wolfenstein IP dates to 1981's Castle Wolfenstein, was revived by id Software's 1992 Wolfenstein 3D, and saw subsequent releases including Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
