MachineGames Begins Production on Wolfenstein 3

The announcement confirms a new mainline entry led by MachineGames inside Bethesda under Xbox and leaves release timing, platforms and any TV tie‑ins unannounced.

Overview

  • Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed on X that Wolfenstein 3 is in production, posting the news during Xbox’s 25th anniversary coverage on Friday, November 13, 2026.
  • Sharma’s post included an image of an opening script page and MachineGames shared a motion‑capture studio image that together signal an early creative phase for the project.
  • The company did not disclose a release window, target platforms, gameplay details or whether the title will be an Xbox exclusive.
  • MachineGames returns to Wolfenstein after earlier mainline entries such as Wolfenstein: The New Order and The New Colossus, and the studio operates inside Bethesda, which is part of Xbox Games Division following Microsoft’s acquisition.
  • Reports earlier this year have linked a rumored Amazon Wolfenstein TV project to the timing of a new game but that adaptation remains unconfirmed and any alignment between the two is speculative at this stage.
