Wolfenstein Trilogy Third Chapter on the Horizon? MachineGames' New Project in Sight
Wolfenstein, first introduced in 1981, has been a staple in video game history, though with intermittent releases. MachineGames significantly revitalized the series with Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, establishing the first two parts of a planned trilogy featuring BJ Blazkowicz in his fight against the Nazis. Following the release of Wolfenstein: Youngblood, activity around the series quieted until Noclip released its documentary on Wolfenstein's history. In the documentary, at the 41:16 mark, series director Gustafsson revealed, "We always saw Wolfenstein as a trilogy." He further stated that he knew how the story would unfold from the beginning, including the third game. This statement strongly suggests that MachineGames will indeed develop another Wolfenstein title. MachineGames' involvement with Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle, which recently launched on PC, Xbox, and PS5, caused the apparent delay. Having concluded their work on Indiana Jones, the studio can now concentrate on its signature series, Wolfenstein. Furthermore, recent job listings indicate that MachineGames is developing a new project for the franchise.

Game info
- Official Name
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Brief Summary
- The game follows B.J. Blazkowicz, an American spy during World War II and his efforts to destroy the Nazi regime. Wolfenstein 3D is divided into two sets of three episodes. In "Escape", Blazkowicz has been captured while trying to find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust (Iron Fist) and imprisoned in Castle Wolfenstein, from which he must escape. "Operation: Eisenfaust" follows his discovery and thwarting of the Nazi plan to create an army of undead mutants in Castle Hollehammer, while in "Die, Führer, Die!" he infiltrates a bunker under the Reichstag, culminating in a battle with Adolf Hitler in a robotic suit equipped with four chain guns. Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter presented with rudimentary 3D graphics and a follow-up to the top-down infiltration game Castle Wolfenstein. The game is broken up into levels, each of which is a flat plane divided into areas and rooms by a grid-based pattern of walls and doors, all of equal height. Each level is themed after Nazi bunkers and buildings. To finish a level, the player must traverse through the area to reach an elevator. Levels are grouped together into named episodes, with the final level focusing on a boss fight with a particularly difficult enemy. While traversing the levels, the player must fight Nazi guards and soldiers, dogs, and other enemies while managing supplies of ammunition and health. While later releases of the game included the Nocturnal Missions expansion, this initial release did not.
