Wolfenstein III may release with Amazon's show

The rumor originates from a January 7, 2026, article by Xbox insider Jez Corden at Windows Central, where he states: "I've heard that Wolfenstein III is also on the cards to coincide with the upcoming Wolfenstein Amazon TV show." This has been widely reported by outlets like XboxEra, GamingBolt, and others, all citing Corden's piece.

Key Details on the Rumor
- Development Status: MachineGames is reportedly planning or discussing Wolfenstein III as the finale to the B.J. Blazkowicz trilogy. 

This aligns with studio head Jerk Gustafsson's 2025 comments: 
"We have always seen this as a trilogy... I hope that we’re not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell."

- Timing: The game could be positioned to launch around the TV series, similar to Xbox's strategy with Fallout remakes tied to its show's Season 2. 

No firm dates exist—speculation points to potential reveals in 2026 or later at events like Xbox Showcase or QuakeCon.

- Other Projects: MachineGames is also working on an Indiana Jones sequel and a tactical multiplayer title (similar to Rainbow Six Siege).

Amazon's Wolfenstein TV Series
- Announcement: Revealed in July 2025 by Variety as in development at Amazon MGM Studios.

- Team: Created and written by Patrick Somerville (showrunner for Fallout Season 1 elements and Station Eleven), produced by Kilter Films (Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy of Fallout/Westworld fame), with MachineGames' Jerk Gustafsson as executive producer.

- Logline: "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen."

- Status: Early stages—no cast, detailed plot, filming dates, or premiere announced. It will feature B.J. Blazkowicz in an alternate-history Nazi-dominated world with occult and sci-fi elements.

This remains unconfirmed rumor from a credible source (Corden has a solid Xbox leak track record), amplified by MachineGames' prior trilogy intentions and shared production ties. 

Official confirmation from Microsoft, Bethesda, or Amazon is still needed, but excitement is building.
