Back in September, we reported on MachineGames' effective confirmation that a third mainline Wolfenstein under their command was coming… eventually. A month later, the internet took notice when it appeared the developers were teasing “Wolfenstein 3,” as we'll call it for lack of an official title, as their next big thing.
Today it was spicy. Multiple sources have claimed that Wolfenstein 3 is indeed in active development at MachineGames. Fans of their previous efforts in this acclaimed Nazi shooter series – and there are many of us! – shall rejoice. We go back.

The original claim for today's big deal comes from Jez Corden at WindowsCentral, who also talked about the existence of a Fallout: New Vegas remaster. That's nice, but it's just one source; However, the Wolfenstein bit has been exacerbated by an article from Kotaku which reports that its own insider is nodding its head on the matter.

Wolfenstein is already looking hot right now, with a TV show coming over to Amazon Prime Video. According to Corden, MachineGames is also hard at work on some kind of “Rainbow Six Siege-style multiplayer title,” but that's not stopping them from adapting the series' foray into streaming with a bold third chapter.
Details are of course scarce, and the odds of Bethesda coming out and confirming the existence of Wolfenstein 3 are next to none anyway. Will we hear about it this year though? 2026 is in its first week, so yes, there is still plenty of time for that to happen. Either way, it's good to know it's coming, and we'll be keeping up with further twists on this remarkably obvious in-the-works shooter over the coming months.
