Xbox Confirms Wolfenstein 3 is in Development

It's been nearly a decade since Bethesda's MachineGames released Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017, and now Xbox is ready to announce a sequel from the studio. Wolfenstein 3 was officially announced today, just days after Bethesda also confirmed that the next Elder Scrolls game will be called The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel.

In a post, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced the name and a photo of a script. "Looking forward to sharing more," she said. MachineGames also announced the game in a post, saying the game is "in production" and sharing a photo from a motion-capture session. IGN reports that Brian Bloom, who plays protagonist William Blazkowicz, is involved.

This announcement is sure to excite fans of the franchise who have been eagerly awaiting the next installment. MachineGames has a strong track record with the Wolfenstein series, delivering critically acclaimed titles that blend intense first-person shooter gameplay with a compelling narrative. The confirmation that the game is in production suggests that development is well underway, though no release date has been provided yet.

The timing of this announcement, alongside the news about The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, highlights a busy period for Bethesda and Xbox's gaming studios. Fans will be keeping a close eye on further updates regarding both of these highly anticipated titles. It seems the world of gaming is set to receive another dose of Nazi-punching action very soon!
