Wolfenstein: The New Order was a critical success, with many high scores around the board, so it’s no wonder that Machine Games have been working on a prequel to it, called Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
The press release quotes:
The year is 1946 and the Nazis are on the brink of winning World War II. In an effort to turn the tide in the Allies’ favour, B.J. Blazkowicz must embark on an epic, two-part mission deep within Bavaria. Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood—Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves—pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound. In part two—The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs—our hero’s search for the coordinates leads him to the city of Wulfburg where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is exhuming mysterious artefacts that threaten to unleash a dark and ancient power.
The trailer states that we will see new weapons, enemies, and secrets, but above all we get to stab Nazis with a pipe.
On top of all of that there will be a gameplay reveal at PAX East on March 6th and 7th via Twitch.
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is out on the 5th May 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. It will set you back $19.99/£15.
Who’s ready to start killing Nazis as B.J. Blazkowicz again?
