Wolfenstein trilogy will be completed, developer MachineGames insists
MachinGames has vowed to complete the Wolfenstein trilogy.
MachineGames has insisted it will complete the Wolfenstein trilogy.
After releasing the second instalment in its first-person-shooter series Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017, the studio pivoted to the action-adventure title Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and despite the near-10 year hiatus from Wolfenstein, MachineGames has promised to make the third game.
During an interview with GamesIndustry.Biz, MachineGames studio director Jerk Gustafsson said: “Our intention has always been to go back to Wolfenstein.
“We wanted to finish the trilogy. And when we do that, that is something that I don't want to comment on.
“It can be now, it can be later, but we're not done with it. That's what I can say.”
Turning to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - which was recently confirmed to be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 in May 2026 - Gustafsson reflected on how much of a major departure from the studio’s roots the 2024 title was.
He said: “I think the big difference for us initially was that we needed to think about a game that is much more mild, especially in violence and gore.
“This is actually the first teen game that we have ever done: we have always done mature games before, so that was a big change for us.”
While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was similar to Wolfenstein due to its first-person perspective, MachineGames are determined to go even further beyond their comfort zone with future projects.
Gustafsson said: “[We are] looking more to see what we can do to innovate and expand within that genre. I often see us being able to do a mobile game.
“It just requires a different skillset that we don't have at MachineGames. Maybe sometime in the future, but who knows?”
