After reports surfaced last month that MachineGames was in the process of gearing up for a third entry in the rebooted Wolfenstein franchise, it now appears that those reports were the real deal. Casting details on the third entry have purportedly been leaked, giving potential details on the game’s story.
According to a report by MP1ST, the sequel is currently going under the codename of ‘Valkyrie,’ with Performance Director Tom Keegan and Casting Director Emily Schweber being attached to the project. The duo have worked on previous MachineGames projects, with Keegan coming off directing the performances in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Schweber having a hand in the casting for the previous Wolfenstein entries.
The report mentions that performance capture is scheduled to kick off in April, with additional shooting dates planned for later in 2026 and extending into 2027.
As for story details, the casting call includes a role for a character named Sofiya. Described as a Ukrainian orphan between the ages of 8 and 11, she and her adopted dog Ralph are said to form a bond with series protagonist William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, accompanying him on his travels.
The character’s description also details Sofiya’s background, stating that, ‘While initially suspicious and traumatized by war, she blooms under the care of the resistance (possibly referring to the Kreisau Circle) as a strong-willed survivor.’
Neither MachineGames or Bethesda have responded to this leak, so as always, it’s best to keep that salt handy.
