According to a report on Windows Central, MachineGames is still working on Wolfenstein 3 alongside the planned TV series based on the popular franchise.
The report states that the success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has seen Microsoft investing heavily in MachineGames, with the new Wolfenstein and its TV show set to complement each other, similar to Fallout.
Microsoft is investing in MachineGames following the success of Indiana Jones, but also on the basis of the popularity of the Wolfenstein franchise. Indeed, Microsoft is actually developing a TV show based on Wolfenstein with the Fallout TV producers for Amazon — which fits heavily into Asha Sharma’s trans-media vision for Xbox. Wolfenstein 3 is in production to that end, according to our sources, with the goal of the TV show and game complimenting each other Fallout TV-style.
Back in January it was reported by Kotaku that Wolfenstein 3 was in development alongside a new Rainbow Six Siege-style title, which isn’t a surprise considering the last game in the franchise, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, which arrived in 2019. The following month, it was reported that performance capture was kicking off for Wolfenstein 3 under the codename Valkyrie, which is expected to run into next year.
