The studio known for its highly praised games such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, along with earlier hits like the Wolfenstein series, Machine Games, is said to be developing a third installment of Wolfenstein. Additionally, the studio based in Sweden under Bethesda is also creating a multiplayer game that incorporates elements similar to “Rainbow Six Siege.”
Recent Releases and DLC
Machine Games recently launched its last title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, at the end of 2024. This game was followed by a significant DLC named “The Order of Giants,” released on 4 September 2025. However, the Wolfenstein franchise has not been a top priority for the studio, as the last significant entry, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, came out in 2019.
Expectations for the Future
It seems reasonable to believe that Machine Games is working on a third game in the Wolfenstein series, especially since a live-action series based on the franchise is in development at Amazon.
Wolfenstein was rebooted in 2014 with Wolfenstein: The New Order. Due to its favorable reviews, a sequel was greenlit, which launched in 2017 as Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. However, the latest game in the series, Youngblood, did not receive a warm welcome from fans, leading many to think that Machine Games returned to the planning stage.
Story Arc Conclusion
New speculation hints that Wolfenstein 3 will conclude B.J. Blazkowicz’s story arc, which has long been thought to be part of a trilogy by Machine Games.
Last year, Jerk Gustafsson, the studio head at Machine Games, discussed the ongoing interest in the Wolfenstein franchise during an interview, stating:
“The first game is very much about B.J. and how, obviously, he understands that the Nazis have won the war, but it’s also a very personal journey for him. But at the same time, he meets Anya, and he starts to see that there are other things at play as well, not only fighting Nazis.”
He also reflected on the sequel, saying, “And then, moving into New Colossus, then we move into a wider group of people around you, being part of the resistance, something bigger and something also like a family to you, but at the same time, you’re also preparing to start maybe your own family.”
Gustafsson elaborated, “I think that’s important to say because, at least I hope, that we’re not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell.”
New Multiplayer Title
Moreover, Machine Games is developing a multiplayer game reminiscent of Rainbow Six Siege. It remains uncertain whether this game is connected to the Wolfenstein universe or if it will be a completely new intellectual property. Machine Games has not yet confirmed the development of a third Wolfenstein game or the new multiplayer title.
