Bethesda Softworks kicked off its E3 2016 press briefing the old school way. Showed on the screen is a list of game titles with their corresponding release dates from Bethesda's back catalog, however, a game titled "The New Colossus" sparked speculation of another "Wolfenstein" game.
Bethesda Conference
Bethesda's conference at E3 revealed the "Quake Champions" however, hidden behind the code that looks like an MS-DOS prompt screen are game titles with their corresponding release date. The screen appears to be showing release dates for "Wolfenstein" and "Doom" series.
Attack of the Fan Boy specifically pointed out that "Wolfenstein" is coded as "Wolf3D," "Old_Blood" and "New_Order." It is noted though that below the Old_Blood, New_Colossus appears but instead of dates, a couple of asterisks took its place.
This could only mean that the game hasn't been released yet. Check out the screen Bethesda showed below.

Is 'The New Colossus' The Next 'Wolfenstein' Game?
According to Polygon, "The New Colossus" was listed just below MachineGames' two "Wolfenstein" games: 2014's 'Wolfenstein: The New Order" and its prequel 2015's "Wolfenstein: The Old Blood."
There's strong evidence that "The New Colossus" is the next "Wolfenstein" title, said the report. "The New Colossus" happened to be the title of an Emma Lazarus poem that is inscribed on a plaque at the Statue of Liberty.
It is noted that at the end of "Wolfenstein: The New Order," the protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz delivered a monologue that suggests Lazarus' sonnet.
The appearance of "The New Colossus" may refer to the game's ending or it could refer to another title for "Wolfenstein."
Gamespot added that it is still not clear weather "The New Colossus" is an expansion or an entirely new game. Bethesda hasn't confirmed the new "Wolfenstein" project.
