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?”
