Bethesda announces Wolfenstein: The New Order. The first Wolfenstein game since 2009, Wolfenstein: The New Order will be developed by MachineGames.
Bethesda has announced a new title, Wolfenstein: The New Order. The game is being developed by Swedish developer, MachineGames. Wolfenstein has been widely credited for helping establish and popularize the first-person shooter genre, and Wolfenstein: The New Order is a reimagining of this franchise – offering players a gripping and dramatic experience.
“We are excited to bring a new chapter of Wolfenstein to gamers everywhere ,” said Jens Matthies, creative director at MachineGames. “As fans of the series, working on this game is an honor, and our team is driven to create an unforgettable action-adventure experience that will make FPS fans proud.”
Wolfenstein fans will be familiar with the protagonist, William “B.J.” Blazkowicz is back. This Wolfenstein game, though, will take place in Europe, in the 1960’s. World War II has concluded and the Nazis have won. The Nazi’s have taken over the world. B.J. will have to fight the Nazis and take control super weapons, which have aided the Nazis in taking over the world. Bethasda will be releasing more details about Wolfenstein: The New Order over the next few days.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is scheduled to release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and next generation consoles in Q4 of 2013. With it coming out in the 4th quarter of 2013, this will more than likely be a launch title for the PlayStation 4, which looks like it’ll come out in November of this year. And, of course, it may very well be a Next-Xbox launch title as well, but we don’t know about Microsoft’s new console yet. We’ll have to wait and see, but what do you think?
