Wolfenstein Trilogy Conclusion by MachineGames in Sight

MachineGames, the Swedish developer behind Wolfenstein, planned the series as a trilogy from its inception. Jerk Gustafsson, the co-founder and director, revealed to Noclip that this overarching story, featuring protagonist BJ Blazkowicz, was part of the original design dating back to The New Order. Gustafsson explained that Blazkowicz's evolution from a lone wolf to a resistance leader and father figure was a key component of this initial narrative.
