Yes it does.

L = 4;
ms = 20;(*ms=80*)
sol =
  NDSolve[{D[u[t, x, y, z], t, t] ==
     D[u[t, x, y, z], x, x] + D[u[t, x, y, z], y, y] +
      D[u[t, x, y, z], z, z] + Sin[u[t, x, y, z]],
    u[t, -L, y, z] == u[t, L, y, z], u[t, x, -L, z] == u[t, x, L, z],
    u[t, x, y, -L] == u[t, x, y, L],
    u[0, x, y, z] == Exp[-(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)],
    Derivative[1, 0, 0, 0][u][0, x, y, z] == 0},
   u, {t, 0, L/2}, {x, -L, L}, {y, -L, L}, {z, -L, L},
   MaxSteps -> {Infinity, ms, ms, ms}]
