Media: New Wolfenstein to Feature Travel with an Orphan Girl
What is the MachineGames team up to after Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? According to recent rumors, the studio has returned to Wolfenstein to complete the modern trilogy.
The portal MP1st, which previously actively shared leaks about the then-unannounced Oblivion remaster, has added another heap of information about the upcoming project to the pot. According to the site, MachineGames has begun casting, and MP1st obtained the fresh information from a related announcement.
Below are the most important points from the article:
- The game's working title is Valkyrie. However, it might only be used during the actor selection process, with the developers themselves calling it something else.
- Attached to the shooter are performance director Tom Keegan, who contributed to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and casting director Emily Schweber, who selected actors for previous Wolfenstein installments.
- One of the characters in the new Wolfenstein will be Sophia — an orphan girl aged 8-10, who has a dog named Ralph. Initially a distrustful and war-traumatized child, Sophia gradually blossoms under the care of the Resistance. The heroine becomes attached to William (most likely referring to B.J. Blazkowicz) and accompanies him on his travels. MP1st suggested that the development of the relationship between Sophia and B.J. will be similar to that in The Last of Us between Ellie and Joel.
- Motion capture recording for the game is set to begin in April. Several more such sessions will be held throughout 2026 and 2027. "Given the stated timelines, the MachineGames title is already quite far along in full production," the publication shared.
The Wolfenstein series is also stepping into other media. Amazon is working on a TV series based on the game, handled by Kilter Films, the company involved in the series "Westworld" and "Fallout".
