"Machine Games, the Sweden-based developers who delivered one of the best games last year, are ready to return to the series that put them on the map. And while that's a bummer for folks who hoped an Indiana Jones sequel would be in order shortly after the recent expansion, it also bodes well for the next title in gaming's premiere franchise about slaying Nazis in satisfying fashion. In the latest documentary from , Machine Games Studio Head Jerk Gustafsson said that the team has always envisioned a third and final chapter for the modern Wolfenstein series, and that it's ready to spin that tale sooner than later."
""We have always seen this as a trilogy," Gustafsson said. "That journey for [series protagonist] BJ [Blazkowicz], even during those first weeks at id when we mapped out New Order, we still had the plan for at least that character, what would happen in the second one, and what would happen in the third one. That's important to say, because - at least I hope - we're not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell.""
"It's been eight years since the last mainline Wolfenstein game. The New Colossus was the second game in the series, one that was well received by fans and critics for its story and bloody, throwback gameplay. While a spinoff expansion called Youngblood, starring BJ's daughters, was released in 2019, it was an RPG-flavored departure from the run-and-gun style of the main game that proved to be divisive for fans."
Machine Games, a Sweden-based developer, is preparing to return to the Wolfenstein series with a planned third and final chapter of its modern trilogy. Studio head Jerk Gustafsson confirmed the team envisioned the trilogy during early planning for The New Order and retained plans for protagonist BJ Blazkowicz's arc across three games. The New Colossus remains the last mainline entry eight years ago, while the 2019 Youngblood spinoff took a divisive RPG-oriented approach starring BJ's daughters. Machine Games prioritized developing Indiana Jones And The Great Circle before signaling readiness to continue Wolfenstein sooner than later.
