MachineGames is said to be working on yet another unannounced game, and it’s not Wolfenstein 3 or the new Indiana Jones game.
At least, that’s what gaming industry job spotter Timur222 wrote on Twitter just now. According to his tweet, he’s been told that the Zenimax-owned Swedish studio is working on a game that’s neither the new Wolfenstein nor the upcoming Indiana Jones title.
“MachineGames is said to be working on yet another unannounced game, and it’s not Wolfenstein 3 or the new Indiana Jones game”, the tweet reads. The job spotter later added that, according to the developer who left the studio in 2021, “NOT Wolfenstein 3 according to the dev”.

Exciting stuff, especially considering that both the rumored new Wolfenstein and Indiana Jones games are already quite large in scope for the Swedish studio.
Some weeks ago we reported that MachineGames appeared to be hinting at Wolfenstein 3 with a recent job listing asking for help on creating new AAA titles with a “passion for video games and especially for first-person immersive games” and experience with “animating creatures of quadruped characters”. In addition, both MachineGames and Pete Hines have been openly hinting at a Wolfenstein sequel in recent years.
Now while Timur222 isn’t really being considered as a renowned insider or leaker, he does often spot interesting job listings or additional details about games from job descriptions and resumes. Earlier this week, he posted a description of a former Ubisoft project manager which mentioned that troubled Skull and Bones has a $120+ million budget cap. Also, he found some interesting details about Hogwarts Legacy, which reportedly sold much more than initially expected by Warner Bros.
What are your thoughts on this? Is MachineGames indeed working on yet another unannounced title aside from a new Wolfenstein and the new Indiana Jones? What could it be? Hit the comments below.
