Xbox announces Wolfenstein 3, now in production
Xbox has announced Wolfenstein 3, a new game in the series made by developer MachineGames.
The announcement came nearly a decade after the previous main game, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, launched in 2017.
That game followed William “BJ” Blazkowicz in an alternate 1960s where Nazi Germany had won the Second World War.
MachineGames says the sequel is in production, and shared a photo from a motion-capture session.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma also shared the game’s name and a photo of a script, saying more details would come later.
The announcement marks a return to the main series after the 2019 co-op spinoff Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
More information is expected to be shared later, but no release date or other details have been announced.

Wolfenstein 3 is in production.
I think that's important to say, because — at least, I hope — we're not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell.
