Wolfenstein Trilogy Still Incomplete, Developer Confirms
Stockholm, Sweden – Despite releasing several Wolfenstein titles in recent years, including the standalone spin-off Youngblood, developer MachineGames has revealed the core narrative arc of the modern Wolfenstein series remains unfinished. Studio co-founder and head Jerk Gustafsson disclosed in a recent Noclip documentary exploring the history of MachineGames that Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus where always envisioned as part of a planned trilogy.
The revelation confirms long-held suspicions among fans that the story of BJ Blazkowicz and the resistance against the Nazi regime was not fully concluded.Gustafsson explained the studio “has always visualized the series as a trilogy,” with a pre-planned trajectory for BJ’s journey across all three installments, outlining events for “what happens in the first part, in the second part and the third part?”
The New order introduced a more personal element to BJ’s fight, centering on his relationship with Anya, while The New Colossus expanded the scope to include a broader resistance movement and the formation of BJ’s own family.According to Gustafsson, the story isn’t over, stating it is vital ”to note that we are not yet finished with Wolfenstein: we have even more story to tell.”
Wolfenstein: Youngblood, released after The New Colossus, featured BJ’s daughters as protagonists in a cooperative experience, but did not advance the overarching narrative established in the first two games. MachineGames’ recent focus has been on Indiana Jones and the great Circle, but the confirmation of a planned third Wolfenstein title signals a potential return to the franchise and the continuation of BJ Blazkowicz’s story.
