MachineGames Confirms Desire for Third Mainline Wolfenstein Game in New Documentary – WGB

MachineGames are a busy bunch, having developed the immensely superior Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. With their involvement with Disney, followers have been questioning if the corporate may return to its most well-known collection, Wolfenstein. The excellent news is that MachineGames desires to do one other one.

The most recent documentary by YouTube channel Noclip is all about MachineGames and the making of Wolfenstein. It’s a improbable look into the studio and their trendy spin on the collection, usually cited as serving to set up what the FPS style has change into.

In direction of the tip of the documentary, studio director Jerk Gustafsson discusses the themes of The New Order and The New Colossus, and outright states that MachineGames has all the time thought of the collection to be a trilogy.

“The primary sport may be very a lot about B.J. and the way he truly… he understands that the Nazis have received the conflict, but it surely’s additionally a really private journey for him. However on the identical time, then he meets Anya. He begins to see that there are different issues at play… transferring into New Colossus, then we transfer right into a wider group of individuals round you, being a part of the resistance, one thing greater… I believe that is necessary to say, as a result of now we have all the time seen this as a trilogy.“

Gustafsson explains that from day one, they mapped out what would occur to B.J. throughout three video games, not simply two.

“I believe that’s necessary to say, as a result of – at the very least, I hope – that we’re not completed with Wolfenstein but. We’ve a narrative to inform.”

Whereas this isn’t a affirmation {that a} third mainline sport is formally greenlit — since that call rests with Bethesda and guardian firm Microsoft — it confirms that MachineGames does need to make one other entry. Numerous experiences since 2019 have steered the crew is engaged on one other Wolfenstein, however that is, to the perfect of my information, the primary time they’ve brazenly and formally talked about desirous to do it.

Any third sport would presumably be a direct sequel to The New Colossus and thus happen earlier than the occasions of The Youngblood, the spin-off sport starring B.J.’s twin daughters set 20 years sooner or later.

As for me, I’ve been itching for a brand new, correct Wolfenstein sport since enjoying the extremely disappointing The Youngblood. Nonetheless, Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle was a lot enjoyable that I fully forgave the crew for not disregarding B.J. and handing him a gun.
