A Wolfenstein TV show is reportedly on the way!
Despite growing strong rumors and speculations about Xbox studio closures and project cancellations, it appears that Marvel’s Blade might finally be saved. Also, according to a new report, Wolfenstein 3 is reportedly in active development at MachineGames.
Xbox seems to be reorganizing its first-party studios, while also continuing to invest in some of the biggest franchises. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Wolfenstein 3 reportedly in development
According to a report from Windows Central, MachineGames, the studio that is known for the Wolfenstein series and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, is currently developing Wolfenstein 3.
In the report, it says that the success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has strengthened Xbox’s confidence in the studio.
Also, we might see more of this franchise besides just the games. A Wolfenstein TV series is also reportedly in development. It appears to be produced by the people who were responsible for Amazon’s successful Fallout adaptation.
Arkane Studios undergoing restructuring
A few weeks ago, there were many strong rumors and speculation about the closure of Arkane Studios and the cancellation of Marvel’s Blade game.
All those claims appear to be pretty inaccurate. According to recent legal filings, MachineGames director Jerk Gustafsson has become the new head of Arkane Studios.
This indicates that instead of shutting down the studio, Xbox might be restructuring it. Recently, Todd Howard also provided a positive update on the Blade game.
Conclusion
For now, we can’t be sure as to when we might see the next Wolfenstein release. However, according to reports, Marvel’s Blade is set to be revealed this year, with a 2027 target release.
