MachineGames are a busy bunch, having developed the immensely superior Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle. With their involvement with Disney, followers have been questioning if the corporate may return to its most well-known sequence, Wolfenstein. The excellent news is that MachineGames needs 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 implausible look into the studio and their fashionable spin on the sequence, usually cited as serving to set up what the FPS style has grow to be.
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 sequence to be a trilogy.
“The primary recreation may be very a lot about B.J. and the way he really… he understands that the Nazis have received the warfare, however it’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… shifting into New Colossus, then we transfer right into a wider group of individuals round you, being a part of the resistance, one thing larger… I believe that is essential to say, as a result of we now 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 essential to say, as a result of – a minimum of, I hope – that we’re not completed with Wolfenstein but. Now we have a narrative to inform.”
Whereas this isn’t a affirmation {that a} third mainline recreation is formally greenlit — since that call rests with Bethesda and mum or dad firm Microsoft — it confirms that MachineGames does wish to make one other entry. Varied studies since 2019 have urged the crew is engaged on one other Wolfenstein, however that is, to one of the best of my information, the primary time they’ve brazenly and formally talked about eager to do it.
Any third recreation would presumably be a direct sequel to The New Colossus and thus happen earlier than the occasions of The Youngblood, the spin-off recreation 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 recreation since taking part in the extremely disappointing The Youngblood. Nonetheless, Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle was a lot enjoyable that I utterly forgave the crew for not dismissing B.J. and handing him a gun.
