BJ Blazkowicz is back in a motion-capture suit, and Grace Walker is across the table from him. Xbox used the close of its anniversary FanFest tour in Seattle to confirm Wolfenstein 3 is in production at MachineGames, with no trailer yet.
The studio is hard at work on the next entry, with Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson reprising their roles as BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker, so both voices you remember are back in the booth.

The script page is the trailer
Xbox shared exactly one page of the game’s script, and the page opens on a chapter called Nazitraz. The scene sits in an interrogation cell, a couple of minutes before twelve, with BJ leaning in close to a man named Otto. Fergus shows up too. BJ’s first line is one word: Hi.
That photo at the top is the other half of the reveal, shot inside a capture studio with cameras ringing the room. Wilson leans across a table in a gray suit dotted with pink markers, and Bloom faces her down in black and blue across the same table, with no gameplay anywhere in the frame.
Now the long wait starts
Xbox named no platforms, no date and no subtitle, so the news is the game exists and both leads are back.
MachineGames promised more news as soon as the studio is ready to share it, a timeline that has never once arrived early for a game this size. The studio’s own site shows the capture volume where scenes like the interrogation get filmed, all blue light and ceiling cameras. Rooms like that stay busy for years.

This one’s for everyone who played BJ’s last outing and kept checking for a sequel announcement that never came. Wait for it, since the calendar gave you no other choice.
