It was perhaps a bit of a surprise that we didn't see any sign of Wolfenstein 3 at Xbox and Bethesda's E3 2021 Games Showcase this year, but Bethesda's Pete Hines has confirmed a new Wolfenstein game is definitely still on the way.
Speaking to GameSpot last week, Hines simply stated fans will "have to wait until we get to the point of wanting to talk about it, but you can put me at the head of the list of people who want another Wolfenstein game."
"Where we are for Wolfenstein or quite honestly any other franchise that we haven't announced plans on, I'll have to wait until we get to the point of wanting to talk about it, but you can put me at the head of the list of people who want to see another Wolfenstein game. So, no worries there."
It's not exactly a surprise to hear Hines confirm this, as Bethesda has mentioned a couple of times in the past how Wolfenstein is part of the plans for the future, but it's good to get reassurance that it's still top-of-mind post-E3.
For now, the studio behind Wolfenstein (MachineGames) is currently busy working on the recently announced Indiana Jones game, which was highlighted in the same interview as being in "very, very, very" early development.

I would love another Wolfenstein game. The New Order and The Old Blood were amazing, and then The New Colossus just blew me away with its amazing characters, excellent writing, and just fun as hell gameplay. I can't wait to see how they expand on an already fantastic franchise.
New order was the best and i think the games got progressively worse culminating in the terrible young blood
I'd be shocked if Wolfenstein 3 isn't already deep in development.
Youngblood was released in 2018 and was co-developed with Arkane, so that leads me to believe the bulk of the Machine Games staff could have been working on Wolfenstein 3 at the same time.
Maybe a late 2022 or early 2023 game?
would Wolfenstein 3 be set before or after young blood ?
Quake reboot?
@Richnj
A recent rumor came up, id might be working on Quake Reboot, next.
Yes please give us another one!
The New Order is just so, so, so good!
The New Colossus kinda jumped the shark a bit for me, but was nonetheless very good.
How about finally letting Human Head/Roundhouse Studios do that Prey 2 now that you finally managed to acquire them?
Personally, I don't care about Machine Games' Wolfenstein. They should be games about blowing away Nazis and robot dogs with dual-wielded rocket launchers as the big, beefy Jewish action hero BJ Blazkowicz. Instead they were ponderous affairs with a busted stealth system and too many cutscenes starring some depressed, borderline-suicidal lunkhead as he encounters a lot of obnoxious resistance members. Everyone knows an "Oscar bait" movie? I dunno what the term for a game equivalent of that is, but at times it feels like New Order and New Colossus does that; just FAR too pre-occupied with world-building when it should be getting to the action. Writing and Presentation are NOT gameplay. Raven's 2009 Wolfenstein looks a WHOLE lot better after Machine Games' titles. Interceptor's Rise of the Triad reboot too.
Meanwhile, Youngblood looked like they fixed the tone - because it actually sounded FUN - but they seem to have messed up the gunplay thanks to lifebars, level grinding and other myriad annoyances brought on by the co-op implementation.
If Machine Games and Arkane aren't making it, I could maybe get excited for a new Wolfenstein... but I also don't want id to do it because I'd rather see them do another Quake title instead. Personally I'm glad Machine Games' not working on one right now... honestly worried a bit for Indiana Jones though.
Wolfie's fine, honey...

"Your foster parents are dead."
I loved the reboot but I hope they get it right. Youngblood didn't even look bad, but I skipped it. I think it will be worth the wait though.
Please give me an RTCW remake.
quake young blood haha xD
