- MachineGames studio head teased a new Wolfenstein game.
- The studio head said that they always envisioned protagonist William B.J. being part of a trilogy.
- Recent job listings have confirmed that a new Wolfenstein project is indeed underway.
Wolfenstein is among the very first video game franchises to popularize the FPS genre. Dating back decades, the series has always focused on the resistance against Nazi forces.
The latest entry, Wolfenstein Youngblood, failed to captivate the audience, and as such, developers MachineGames shifted to a new IP, Indiana Jones. However, with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle being finished, the studio might be ready to return to the series that made it big in the first place.
In a new documentary about the making of the Wolfenstein games, MachineGames teased a new entry in the series.
Why it matters: Wolfenstein is one of the most beloved and historically rich video game series. Fans will be excited to see that a new game is in the works.
Talking about the game’s protagonist, William B.J., studio head Jerk Gustafsson explained his journey, including how he met his lover Anya while pushing back against the nazis, and later on how he discovered other meanings in life beyond just fighting. He further stated:
I think this is important to say because we have always seen this as a trilogy
Gustafsson added that since the beginning of the series, they had always envisioned a third entry in the series.
I hope, that we’re not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell.
To further confirm that a new Wolfenstein game is in development, recent job listings suggested exactly that.
With the studio confirming that Wolfenstein: Youngblood is canon to the story, it is interesting to see what approach a third entry would take.
MachineGames has several projects in development, including a new Wolfenstein game, an Indiana Jones sequel, and possibly a new Quake game. However, expect Wolfenstein 3 before any of these games.
