The announcement was made as part of the 25th-anniversary celebration of the Wolfenstein brand and was accompanied by the publication of a photo of the upcoming game's script. Thus, years of rumors regarding a continuation of the *The New Order* and *The New Colossus* duology have now become confirmed facts. ### A Trilogy Conceived from Day One It is worth recalling that BJ Blazkowicz's modern story and his fight against the Nazis from the earliest stages of development of *Wolfenstein: The New Order* (2014) was envisioned by the MachineGames team as a three-part saga. However, following the release of the second episode — *Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus* in October 2017 — no official statements regarding a third part had been made, and fans waited over eight years for a continuation, relying only on unofficial leaks and indirect hints from the developers. ### Xbox Statement and Announcement Details Xbox General Manager Asha Sharma, in her address to the community, called Wolfenstein "one of the most important franchises in industry history" and noted the "outstanding work" of the MachineGames team in modernizing the brand. "Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames. Can't wait to share more," Sharma added. The publication was accompanied by a snapshot of the script document, serving as further confirmation of the project's actual status rather than concept art or a marketing exercise. ### Motion Capture and Return of Actors Alongside the announcement, MachineGames published a photo from the motion capture set. The image features Debra Wilson, who voices Grace Walker, and Brian Bloom, whose voice and motion belong to BJ Blazkowicz. The appearance of both actors on set confirms that key characters of the duology will return in the third part and that work on animation and dialogue is already underway in full force. ### What Is Known About the Plot: Orphan Sofia and Dog Ralph Even before the official announcement, journalists at MP1st reported that *Wolfenstein 3* will feature a new character — an orphan named Sofia who, along with her dog Ralph, joins the resistance forces and accompanies Blazkowicz on his journeys. These details have neither been confirmed nor denied by the studio, but their appearance in the public sphere months before the official announcement suggests the information may have come from a circle close to development. ### Context: Franchise, TV Series, and MachineGames' Place in the Xbox Ecosystem Wolfenstein remains one of the most recognizable brands in the first-person shooter genre. In addition to the game trilogy, a TV series based on the Wolfenstein universe is currently in production at Amazon MGM Studios, indicating the brand's expansion beyond gaming platforms. MachineGames itself, aside from Wolfenstein, is known for its recent release *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*, underlining its status as an Xbox flagship studio in the narrative action segment. Release date, platforms, and publisher for *Wolfenstein 3* were not announced at the time of this writing. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Би Джей Бласковиц возвращается: гендиректор Xbox официально анонсировала Wolfenstein 3](https://3dnews.ru/1151248) - Primary source.
