Wolfenstein 3 and new id Software game confirmed, as Xbox boss somehow unrelatedly shouts about one person soon wielding “capabilities that once required entire nations”

Xbox confirmed that MachineGames is developing Wolfenstein 3, while id Software has begun work on a new game directed by Hugo Martin. The announcements came during Xbox’s 25th anniversary, alongside comments from chief executive Asha Sharma about how technology could change game development.

Sharma said individuals and small teams may soon gain capabilities that currently require entire nations or hundreds of developers, and argued that the cost and risk of making games need to change. The article reads this as an indirect pitch for generative AI, though Sharma did not mention AI explicitly. id Software said its new project is being made by teams in Texas and Frankfurt, but is not ready to share further details.
