- Machine Games has reportedly released a casting call for a suspect Wolfenstein game
- The role is for a Ukrainian character named Sofiya, “between 8 and 11 years old”
- Performance capture is also scheduled to start in April
Machine Games has reportedly released a casting call for an unannounced project, and it sounds like it could be attached to the studio’s next Wolfenstein game.
That’s according to MP1st, which claims to have either revealed the project’s codename. or casting codename, ‘Valkyrie’. The details also include two developers who have worked on several Machine Games titles before, performance director Tom Keegan and casting director Emily Schweber.
Keegan most recently helped cast the studio’s latest game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Schweber has benefited in the past Wolfenstein game.
The casting call is looking for someone to play a character named Sofiya, which MP1st points out could be a reference to Zofia Blazkowicz, mother of Wolfenstein protagonist William “BJ” Blazkowicz.
Sofiya is claimed to be a “Ukrainian orphan between the ages of 8 and 11 who, along with her adopted dog Ralph, is said to bond with William and accompany him on his travels.”
There is also a description of the character’s background, which reads: “While initially suspicious and traumatized by war, she blossoms under the care of the Resistance (possibly referring to the Kreisau Circle) as a strong-willed survivor.”
It sounds like an adult Sofiya could be the main character in this story, or at least a co-protagonist if BJ returns.
Performance capture is also scheduled to begin in April, “with additional filming dates scheduled for later in 2026 and extending into 2027,” suggesting the project is in full production.
Machine Games has not formally announced that it is working on it Wolfenstein 3but rumors reported earlier this year were later confirmed by Kotaku, who said “it’s true from our own sources.”
