Xbox has officially confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is in development at MachineGames, with the studio working on the next installment in the long-running first-person shooter series.
The announcement came from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma during the Seattle stop of the company’s 25th anniversary FanFest tour. “This is a franchise with an important place in gaming history, and I’m excited to see the team continue its story,” Sharma said.
MachineGames also confirmed that it is hard at work on Wolfenstein 3. Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson will return to voice BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker, respectively.
The announcement confirms that the series is continuing, although Xbox hasn’t shared a release date, gameplay footage, or details about the game’s story.
Sharma also revealed that id Software has another project in development. However, Xbox didn’t provide any information about the title or what the studio is working on.
The news arrived alongside an update for DOOM: The Dark Ages, with Xbox confirming that Slaughter Mode will launch on November 16. The new mode features increasingly difficult rounds of randomized enemies, bosses, and arenas, with rewards that continue to accumulate as players progress.
Slaughter Mode will be available at no additional cost to players who own the Revelations DLC, Premium Edition, or Premium Upgrade.
The announcements were made during the final stop of Xbox’s eight-city anniversary tour in Seattle, the same city where the original Xbox launched 25 years ago.
