MachineGames turns 15 and drops a tantalizing tease: a commemorative poster celebrating the studio’s milestone features key art from every major release—and one conspicuous empty frame with a giant question mark beside Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The image has set off a wave of speculation about what the team is building next.
The studio earned its reputation by revitalizing the Wolfenstein franchise with The New Order in 2014, followed by The Old Blood in 2015, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus in 2017, and the co-op spinoff Youngblood in 2019. In 2024, MachineGames shifted gears with the cinematic, critically acclaimed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
The anniversary celebration also arrives with a free update for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Players can dive into New Game+, discover an extended ending, and explore developer commentary and concept art—exactly the kind of post-launch support that keeps momentum strong while the studio readies whatever comes next.
That mysterious question mark has fans wondering if the long-awaited return to Wolfenstein is finally on the horizon. It’s been more than six years since the last mainline entry, and expectations are high for Wolfenstein III to conclude the rebooted saga starring B.J. Blazkowicz. The trilogy plan has been acknowledged before, with studio head Jerk Gustafsson stating, “We’re not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell.”
Of course, the next reveal may not be Wolfenstein at all. Given the commercial success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle—and recent job listings pointing to ongoing work tied to that universe—an Indiana Jones follow-up is firmly in the conversation. There’s also chatter about an entirely new IP as MachineGames looks to broaden its portfolio. Lead Prop Artist Pontus Wahlin summed up the studio’s outlook: “With our upcoming projects, we’re well-positioned for continued growth and success. The experience gained from our work on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has provided valuable insights that will only enhance our future initiatives.”
Whether it’s Wolfenstein III, a second expedition with Indy, or a surprise original franchise, the 15th anniversary teaser has done its job—stoking excitement and signaling that MachineGames’ signature blend of polished, action-first gameplay is far from finished. Keep an eye out for updates, as a formal reveal could land before the end of 2025.
