Wolfenstein 3 Appears Likely to Materialize

Following contributions to the ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’ game, rumblings are increasing about a potentially imminent ‘Wolfenstein 3’. The creators of ‘Wolfenstein’, developers MachineGames, have often broached the idea of a trilogy surrounding this much-loved Nazi-defeating, first-person shooter series, which they breathed new life into in 2014 with ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’. n nIt is in a recent interview with NoClip that the studio’s director, Jerk Gustafsson, elicits new fervour for a third installation in the contemporary Wolfenstein narrative. Gustafsson hinted at closure to BJ Blazkowiscz’s capers, remarking that they have always envisaged it as part of a three-part saga. He stated how from the earliest stages at id, even when mapping out ‘New Order’, they had a road-map in place not just for the second instalment, but also the third. This is a pivotal piece of info as it finishes the previous belief that they might not conclude the Wolfenstein series. By all accounts, there is still a tale left to be told. n nThe preceding game, ‘Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus’, made its debut in 2017. The subsequent period has seen MachineGames design, or co-design, a mixture of DLC side stories and branch-offs from the franchise, such as ‘Wolfenstein: Youngblood’ and ‘Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot’. These expansion efforts have primarily featured central characters other than BJ. MachineGames has simultaneously worked on several other id properties, creating or co-creating new content for updates of iconic games like ‘Doom’, ‘Quake’, and ‘Quake 2’. n nThe work on ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’ and its corresponding DLC also consumed considerable time from the studio’s schedule. However, this might pave the way for a return to the stupendous world of Wolfenstein, allowing us to glimpse into the current predicaments of Mr. and Mrs. Blazkowiscz. The captivating narrative of Nazi extermination is always ripe for exploration — reminding us of this, Bethesda Softworks teamed up with Amazon MGM Studios to develop a Wolfenstein TV series for Amazon’s Prime Video platform, with talented ‘Station Eleven’ creator Patrick Somerville at the helm.
