Wolfenstein 3 is in development, and id Software has a new game
Xbox confirmed a third Wolfenstein at MachineGames, with no date or platforms, and said id Software is working on an untitled project that is not a confirmed Doom.
Wolfenstein 3 is official. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said at the Seattle FanFest, part of the company's 25th anniversary event, that the game "is officially in production at MachineGames". She made the announcement on Nov. 12.
There is no subtitle, platform list, release date or trailer. What exists is a cast: Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson return as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker. As a teaser, Xbox showed a motion-capture photo of the two actors and a script page from chapter 01, titled "Nazitraz," which opens in an interrogation cell.
The last mainline entry in the series is Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, from 2017. A third game had circulated as a rumor since January; this is the first confirmation from Xbox and the studio.
Sharma also said id Software is already working on its next game. Hugo Martin returns as game director, leading the teams in Texas and Frankfurt. It has no title, platforms or date either, and neither official post says it is a Doom.
DOOM: The Dark Ages does have a date. Its Slaughter Mode, with randomized rounds of enemies, bosses and arenas, costs nothing for owners of the Revelations DLC, the Premium edition or the Premium upgrade.
For players in Mexico who follow BJ Blazkowicz, there is nothing to reserve yet: Wolfenstein 3 is a long way from a release window. Slaughter Mode, by contrast, is playable starting Monday, Nov. 16.
