Machine Games director confirms plans to make Wolfenstein 3

For years, it has been rumoured that a third Wolfenstein game would be coming from Machine Games. Ultimately, those plans were pushed back a bit due to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, as Machine Games confirmed several months ago. Now though, it appears that the studio is ready to start talking about the next Wolfenstein game for real. 

In an interview with GI.biz, Machine Games studio director, Jerk Gustafsson, said: “Our intention has always been to go back to Wolfenstein. We wanted to finish the trilogy. And when we do that, that is something that I don't want to comment on. It can be now, it can be later, but we're not done with it. That's what I can say.”

There is no word on when Wolfenstein 3 will surface but it appears that Machine Games is going to be returning to it soon to wrap up its trilogy. The comments come at an unusual time, as just a few weeks ago, multiple insider sources claimed that Wolfenstein 3 is indeed in development.

Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus were both incredibly well received, but both arrived during the last console generation. So far during the Xbox Series X / PS5 life cycle, Machine Games has only produced Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which was a fantastic game in its own right.

Gustafsson expects Machine Games to release a new game “every four years”. Considering that Indiana Jones arrived in late 2024, that means we may not see Wolfenstein 3 for another couple of years.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
