MachineGames Has Been Hinting at Wolfenstein 3
Earlier this year, reports emerged about a casting call tied to an unannounced project believed to be Wolfenstein 3. The listing reportedly featured a character named Sofiya, an 8-to-11-year-old Ukrainian orphan who forms a bond with series protagonist William “B.J.” Blazkowicz.
MachineGames itself has also repeatedly expressed a desire to conclude the current trilogy. In a previous interview, studio director Jerk Gustafsson said that the team wanted to finish the trilogy and emphasized that they were “not done with it.”
