This is probably not very surprising news, but Pete Hines, senior vice president of marketing at Bethesda, plainly stated that a sequel to Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is on the way. He said so during an interview with Metro, responding to the question of whether the last game's purportedly underwhelming sales meant a Wolfenstein III was off the table.
His answer is very clear: "Yeah, sure. Absolutely we’re making a Wolfenstein III. They said on stage that they’re taking a break from the larger story to do this thing. But we all have to see how that ends."
MachineGames is currently hard at work on PSVR title Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot and spinoff Wolfenstein: Youngblood, both due next year, so it seems that we may not see full blown sequel for quite some time. Still, fans will appreciate that the sequel is in development -- perhaps we'll see more at E3 next year. Are you happy Wolfenstein III is coming? Choose your weapon in the comments below.

great news.
hope it stays SP because you never know with bethesda these days.
(fallout 76,young blood,possilble dishonered MP)
Can't wait, very fun games. What is this young blood spinoff? I must have missed this.
@jdv95 oh a mp spinoff...
Expect some sort of Creation Club BS in this title since it's in every other title
Played both W:TNO and W:TOB, both great fun. Bought W2:TNC 2 weeks after it was released....and it’s still in backlog mountain! No doubt I will buy W3 when it’s released...and it’ll probably go into a new backlog (possibly a whole range of mountains by then). Just hope W2 has been introduced to my PS4 by then...
I hope they do better level design. Loved the first game and the story for the second was great but it had bizarre difficulty spikes and level design in my mind. Would still play a sequel since I have no interest in the spinoff.
How did i miss the news there will be a psvr spinoff! Hopefully plays better than doom vfr
Bring it on. I've loved all the Wolfenstein games Bethesda has done so far.
@LaNooch1978 Oh boy - yeah, that was a killer. I found stealth redundant in the game too. It just wasn't fun to be stealthy.
Awesome. Bethesda are great at continuing to support franchises that perhaps other publishers might not have.
@LaNooch1978 Oh god, I'd managed to forget about the courtroom level. That was not a fun sequence.
one of the best video games franchises ever.all 3 games recently have been masterpieces.wolfenstein 3.playa.word up son
Wolfenstein has been all good for me, no reason to expect less in 3. I feel confident enough to buy day one on this title.
Great news love the series 👍👍
Great news! Wolfenstein franchise is one of my fav FPS experience beside Doom this gen, cant wait for more
Very happy about this. New Order and New Colossus were two of my favourite shooters this gen.
@jacobia that's a shame fella, it's one of the best single player shooters in a very long time. Excellent story and nice, fast paced, gunplay.
@Johnnycide Yep, single player games are my games of choice, as multiplayer doesn’t really interest me. I’ve every intention of starting W2 this week, but it’s also a pretty busy one....but hopefully I’ll find some time to indulge.
