MachineGames is reportedly advancing steadily with the third installment in the Wolfenstein series. Michael Beckwith reported on MP1ST on February 26, 2026, that casting is ramping up, with motion capture of actors expected to begin in April. These developments follow rumors of a new Wolfenstein title since MachineGames completed Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Studio head Jerk Gustafsson has publicly stated his intention to continue the B.J. Blazkowicz saga. MP1ST, which has previously shared information about The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and the Horizons multiplayer game, revealed details about the cast, the project’s codename (Valkyrie), and a new character. Casting details indicate that Tom Keegan and Emily Schweber, who have collaborated on various MachineGames projects, are involved in Wolfenstein 3. Keegan, who directed performances in Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, will serve as performance director. Schweber, who assembled the casts for previous Wolfenstein games, is the casting director.
