Fergus appears in the first script page shared for Wolfenstein 3, but MachineGames has not confirmed that his timeline is now the only canon route. The photograph offers a clue about Fergus’s role. It does not tell players who chose Wyatt that their version of the story has been discarded.
That is the interesting question behind the overnight announcement. Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production, and the name near the bottom of the page brings back a choice Bethesda previously treated as more than a cosmetic difference.
What the script actually shows
Xbox chief Asha Sharma shared the announcement alongside a photograph of a script page. Bethesda has also reproduced the script image in its 13 November anniversary update, where we checked the visible text.
The page is headed “Chapter 01 – Nazitraz”. Its scene takes place in an interrogation cell, with BJ leaning towards a character called Otto. Near the bottom, a stage direction names Fergus as he moves towards a clock. There is no visible instruction asking the player to choose a timeline, nor an explanation of how this scene fits into the finished game.
GamesRadar’s announcement report also picks out Fergus. His presence is visible evidence; declaring a single canonical route would go beyond what the page establishes.
Why Fergus matters to returning players
We went back to Bethesda’s official launch guidance for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It explicitly describes a timeline choice in the opening sequence. The Fergus route gives players the Laserkraftwerk, while the Wyatt route provides the Dieselkraftwerk.
Bethesda’s earlier character introduction makes the distinction broader still: choosing a companion affects the narrative as well as gameplay. That is why a familiar name on the new page deserves attention. It connects to a decision players made, rather than merely confirming that another supporting character exists.
What it cannot establish is whether Wolfenstein 3 repeats that choice, adapts scenes for different routes or follows one fixed version. None of those possibilities is confirmed in the announcement. A page showing Fergus can demonstrate that he appears in this shared scene without settling what happens elsewhere.
What MachineGames has confirmed
Bethesda says Brian Bloom and Debra Wilson are reprising BJ Blazkowicz and Grace Walker. It also shares a photograph of the actors in motion-capture suits. That gives the announcement more substance than a title alone, although a production photograph cannot establish a release window.
CriticalHit covered MachineGames’ move into Indiana Jones back in 2021. Now the studio has publicly confirmed its return to Wolfenstein, with familiar performers and a small piece of the writing to examine.
The useful question for its next reveal is specific: will players choose Fergus or Wyatt again? Until MachineGames answers, the script is a reason to ask that question, rather than proof that the choice has already been made for everyone.
