Wolfenstein Series Gets a Reboot by Fallout Producer and Team at Amazon MGM Studios
After Fallout, Amazon MGM Studios is set to adapt another Bethesda series: Wolfenstein. While no plot details have been shared, the adaptation is expected to continue the franchise's core theme of battling Nazis. Patrick Somerville will serve as creator, writer, and producer for the Wolfenstein adaptation. Lisa Joy and Athena Wickham of Kilter Films, James Altman of Keyframe Films, and Jerk Gustafsson of MachineGames will join him. The Wolfenstein franchise began with the 1981 game Castle Wolfenstein. However, Wolfenstein 3D, released in 1992, significantly boosted the series' prominence as one of the pioneering and most successful first-person shooter games. Bethesda acquired the Wolfenstein franchise in 2009 by purchasing id Software, marking a significant shift from its previous years under Activision. Following this acquisition, MachineGames developed and released a new Wolfenstein title in 2014, with four additional games in the series following between 2015 and 2019.
