Wolfenstein 3 Reportedly in Development at MachineGames Alongside a New Multiplayer Project

Reports indicate that MachineGames is developing Wolfenstein 3 to complete the trilogy, alongside a tactical multiplayer game inspired by Rainbow Six Siege.
Fresh reports indicate that MachineGames is moving full speed ahead on Wolfenstein 3 following the release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. According to reports from Windows Central and Kotaku, the studio is returning to the iconic Nazi-punching franchise to finish B.J. Blazkowicz's story. Studio head Jerk Gustafsson previously teased a three-game arc during a retrospective documentary last year, noting that the team always envisioned a trilogy to wrap up the narrative. For players invested in single-player campaigns that actually have something to say, the return of classic shooter action is a welcome development.
Alongside the rumored threequel, sources suggest the team is also developing a mysterious multiplayer game inspired by the tactical depth of Rainbow Six Siege. Expanding into competitive team-based spaces could give MachineGames a whole new way to keep players engaged long after the credits roll on the main campaign. In an era where live-service longevity often dictates a game's long-term health, a tactical multiplayer companion could turn the franchise into a more durable platform for communities.
Timing-wise, this lines up nicely with broader media plans. Amazon is currently developing a Wolfenstein TV series, meaning the next game will likely drop right alongside a major transmedia push. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, tackling heavy themes of fascism and resistance remains a core part of the series identity. How that lands in the current cultural landscape will be fascinating to watch, but for now, the prospect of more high-budget alternate history action is hard to ignore.
