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 would possibly return to its most well-known sequence, Wolfenstein. The excellent news is that MachineGames desires to do one other one.
The newest 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 change into.
In direction of the top 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 could be very a lot about B.J. and the way he truly… he understands that the Nazis have gained the struggle, nevertheless 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… transferring 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’ve 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 – not less than, I hope – that we’re not performed with Wolfenstein but. We now 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. Numerous experiences since 2019 have advised the workforce is engaged on one other Wolfenstein, however that is, to one of the best of my data, the primary time they’ve overtly and formally talked about desirous 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 enjoying the extremely disappointing The Youngblood. Nonetheless, Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle was a lot enjoyable that I utterly forgave the workforce for not dismissing B.J. and handing him a gun.
