In 2014, Machine Games’ Wolfenstein: The New Order rebooted the classic Wolfenstein shooter from id Software. The sequel, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, followed in 2017, with a spin-off called Wolfenstein: Youngblood in 2019. There hasn’t been a new game in the franchise since the VR title Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot in 2019, but Machine Games creative director Axel Torvenius still wants to continue the story of William “B.J.” Blazkowicz in a third Wolfenstein game.
“We have always seen this as a [Wolfenstein] trilogy,” said Torvenius during a Wolfenstein documentary by Noclip. “So that journey for B.J., even during those first few weeks at id, when we mapped out New Order, we still had the plan for, at least, that character. What will happen in the second one, what will happen in the third one. So I think that’s important to say, because–at least, I hope–that we’re not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell.”
While there’s currently no word about a third Wolfenstein game, Amazon is reportedly developing a Wolfenstein TV series for Prime Video. Kilter Films–one of the production companies behind Prime Video’s Fallout series–is producing the show alongside Machine Games. Plot details are currently undisclosed, but it’s believed to be based on the reboot’s storyline.
Machine Games is now owned by Microsoft as part of the ZeniMax acquisition. The studio’s most recent title was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which continued Wolfenstein’s Nazi-fighting tradition. The first DLC expansion for the game, Indiana Jones And The Order Of Giants, was released earlier this month. Machine Games and Bethesda will also port Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to Switch 2 in 2026.
