MachineGames Returns to Wolfenstein, and There is a Multiplayer Twist

Reports claim MachineGames is planning Wolfenstein 3 and a Rainbow Six Siege-style multiplayer game. Here’s what we know so far, what’s still unclear, and why Amazon’s Wolfenstein TV series matters.

MachineGames may be making Wolfenstein 3 (and a Siege-style MP)

Indiana Jones is barely cold and the rumor mill is already spinning. A new report says MachineGames is planning Wolfenstein 3, while also working on a separate multiplayer shooter described as "Rainbow Six Siege-like".

What’s being reported: Wolfenstein 3 is “on the cards”

VGC says a third mainline Wolfenstein is in the works, citing separate reporting from Windows Central and Kotaku.

The claim: MachineGames is planning Wolfenstein 3.
The sources: two separate reports, as referenced by VGC.
The status: unannounced, with no timing or details shared.

MachineGames last touched Wolfenstein with Youngblood in 2019 (a co-op spin-off). So a “proper” next chapter is long overdue.

The other project: a “Rainbow Six Siege-like” multiplayer shooter

Alongside Wolfenstein 3, there is also a second claim: MachineGames is also working on a multiplayer title compared to Rainbow Six Siege.

Described as: “Rainbow Six Siege-like multiplayer”.
That usually implies: tight rounds, teamwork, and maps built for tactics (not just sprinting and spraying).
What’s missing: basically everything else — name, setting, release plan, and whether it’s even tied to an existing franchise.

It’s worth reading that description as shorthand, not a promise. “Siege-like” can mean anything from destructible environments to operator-style roles, or simply a slower, more competitive FPS vibe.

Why now: MachineGames has been busy (and Wolfenstein fits the timing)

MachineGames’ last major release was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Latest shipped game: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (late 2024).
Last Wolfenstein release: Wolfenstein: Youngblood (2019).
Studio context: a return to Wolfenstein would be a big pivot back to their most recognisable series.

The “trilogy” angle: MachineGames has said they’re not done

VGC also points back to comments from MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson, who said the team always saw the modern Wolfenstein arc as a trilogy and that they still have a story to tell.

The studio’s view: planned as a trilogy around B.J. Blazkowicz’s journey.
The implication: Wolfenstein 3 would be the “third act” they’ve talked about.
The reality check: intent doesn’t equal schedule — and Bethesda hasn’t announced anything yet.

So yes, the “Wolfenstein 3” rumour isn’t coming out of nowhere. It matches what the studio has publicly hinted at before.

Is Wolfenstein 3 confirmed?

No. Right now it’s reported, not announced. Treat it like a strong rumour until Bethesda or MachineGames says otherwise.

What does “Rainbow Six Siege-like” multiplayer actually mean?

It’s a comparison used in reporting. It usually points to tactical, team-based rounds and maps designed around strategy, not just fast run-and-gun. But no concrete features were shared.
