MachineGames Teases 'We're Not Done With Wolfenstein Yet'

MachineGames seemingly hasn't finished with its Wolfenstein series just yet.

While it's been over half a decade since we last punched a Nazi in Wolfenstein: Youngblood, studio head Jerk Gustafsson has hinted the team would very much like to return to the Wolfenstein universe to conclude BJ Blazkowicz's story.

Though both Youngblood and the 2019 VR title Cyberpilot explored the broader Blazkowicz family's fate, we haven’t actually played as series staple Blazkowicz since 2017’s The New Colossus. And it’s BJ’s journey that seems to captivate Gustafsson most — in fact, it appears Blazkowicz’s tale was always intended to unfold in three acts.

In a new interview with Noclip, Gustafsson said the team had "always seen [BJ's story] as a trilogy," adding: "That journey for BJ, even during those first weeks at [id Software], when we mapped out New Order — we still had the plan for at least [BJ], what would happen in the second one and what would happen in the third one."

"I think that's important to say, because — at least, I hope — we're not done with Wolfenstein yet. We have a story to tell," he added (thanks, PC Gamer).

The last Wolfenstein game was 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Set in 1980, 19 years after BJ Blazkowicz ignited the Second American Revolution, it introduced the next generation of Blazkowiczs to the fight against the Nazis. In IGN's review, we awarded it a middling 6.5, calling it "aggressively okay."

MachineGames' latest offering, however, was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which secured 9/10.
