The acclaimed studio behind Wolfenstein and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, MachineGames, has recently dropped hints about its upcoming project. This exciting revelation came as part of the company's celebration marking its 15th anniversary, immediately generating widespread excitement and speculation among the developer's dedicated fanbase.

Established in Uppsala, Sweden, MachineGames has built an impressive portfolio since its formation in 2009. The studio was founded by seven former Starbreeze Studios developers and was subsequently acquired by ZeniMax Media (now owned by Microsoft) the following year. Over the years, they've delivered numerous critically acclaimed titles, with their most recent release being Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which launched on Xbox Series X/S and PC in December 2024 before expanding to PlayStation 5 in April 2025.

On October 10th, MachineGames celebrated its 15-year journey under ZeniMax Media with a special commemorative poster. The design features artwork from five of their previous successful titles, including Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Interestingly, the poster includes a sixth, empty slot marked only by a mysterious question mark, clearly hinting at an unannounced project currently in development. Adding to the excitement, MachineGames Lead Prop Artist Pontus Wåhlin expressed enthusiasm about the studio's "upcoming projects"—using the plural form, suggesting multiple new games are in the pipeline.

The social media announcement quickly gathered hundreds of comments from fans speculating about what MachineGames might be working on next. The most prominent theories circulating among the community include a new installment in the Wolfenstein series and another Indiana Jones adventure. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer had previously indicated the possibility of an Indiana Jones and the Great Circle sequel back in April 2025, noting that the game's commercial success demonstrated the enduring appeal of the iconic franchise.

While another Indiana Jones game appears to be a matter of timing rather than possibility, evidence suggests that Wolfenstein 3 might be the more immediate priority for the studio. In a September 2025 documentary by YouTuber Noclip, MachineGames Creative Director Jerk Gustafsson strongly hinted at a third Wolfenstein game being in development. He emphasized that the Swedish studio had always envisioned their revival series as a trilogy and explicitly stated they were "not done" with the franchise. These comments align with earlier statements from former Bethesda VP Pete Hines, who confirmed back in 2018 that Wolfenstein 3 was "absolutely" planned, though the studio was taking a creative break at the time.

The likelihood of Wolfenstein 3 being the studio's next major release appears increasingly plausible, especially considering the recently announced live-action Wolfenstein television series currently in production at Amazon MGM Studios. ZeniMax's experience with the Amazon-produced Fallout TV adaptation—which generated massive renewed interest in the gaming franchise throughout 2024 while leaving fans eager for new game content—may influence their strategic planning. The company could potentially coordinate the debut of the Wolfenstein television series with the release of a major new game installment, creating powerful cross-media momentum and maximizing audience engagement across both platforms.
