Wolfenstein 3 could potentially continue BJ Blazkowicz's story, as MachineGames views the Wolfenstein series as a trilogy.
In the world of video games, the fate of Wolfenstein's third installment remains shrouded in mystery. MachineGames, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Wolfenstein series, has been tight-lipped about the project's development, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any updates.
The current status of Wolfenstein 3 is unclear, with no confirmed production or release date as of mid-2025. MachineGames has mentioned the game as a new Wolfenstein project, but details about its development progress have yet to be revealed. The developer has not confirmed whether Wolfenstein 3 is in production, but they have expressed a strong desire to continue the story.
The first game, Wolfenstein: The New Order, introduced players to the character BJ Blazkowicz. His personal journey, which involved fighting Nazis and uncovering hidden elements, captivated audiences. The planned story for Wolfenstein, as envisioned by MachineGames, extends beyond the first two games, promising an exciting continuation for fans.
The second game, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, saw a wider group of people joining the resistance, portraying them as a family. This theme of camaraderie was further explored in the futuristic co-op spinoff, Youngblood, which MachineGames insists is "canon to the story" of Wolfenstein. However, the mention of Youngblood raises questions about the potential setting and timeline of a hypothetical Wolfenstein 3.
It is not clear whether a third game would take place even further into the future or be an interquel set before Youngblood. The planned story may include elements from the futuristic setting of Youngblood, but specific details have not been confirmed by MachineGames.
The story of Wolfenstein, as planned, also involves BJ Blazkowicz preparing to start and build his own family. This development adds a new dimension to the character's journey, making players even more invested in his story.
MachineGames delivered the game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle last year, demonstrating their ability to craft engaging narratives across different genres. With the future of Wolfenstein uncertain, fans can only wait and hope for more updates from the developer.
In the meantime, Wolfenstein 2, still considered one of the best first-person shooter (FPS) games ever made, remains a testament to MachineGames' commitment to delivering high-quality games. Whether Wolfenstein 3 will follow suit remains to be seen.
