The third act opens in the Wolfenstein series

Wolfenstein 3 was officially confirmed at Xbox Fanfest in Seattle as part of Xbox's 25th anniversary celebration. The answer to the rumor that has been talked about for a long time came at the event. But there is neither a trailer nor a release date yet.

Xbox CEO made the announcement of Wolfenstein 3

The game is developed by Swedish studio MachineGames. The series was put on hold after Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, which was released to great acclaim in 2017. The studio, meanwhile, is developing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in 2024.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced the news on X. "Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames. It's one of gaming's most important franchises, and they've done some very impressive work pushing it forward. I can't wait to share more," said Sharma.

The cast returns

The development team, B.J. He announced that Brian Bloom, who voices Blazkowicz, will reprise the role. Debra Wilson, who plays Grace Walker, is also returning. A photo of the duo taken in the motion capture area of ​​the studio was also shared.

The trilogy plan was there from the beginning

The news is not actually a big surprise. MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson said in an interview with Noclip last year that they always saw B.J.'s story as a trilogy.

According to Gustafsson, the team had an idea of ​​what would happen in the second and third games in the first weeks of working with id Software, that is, when they were drawing up the plan of New Order. Gustafsson said, "At least I hope we're not done with Wolfenstein. We have a story to tell."
