Picking up from where Wolfenstein: The New Order left off, The New Colossus moved the eternal fight against Nazi scum to the United States.

Wolfenstein: The New Order was the best in the series for a generation. It’s into this alternative reality that our even more grizzled veteran awakes, recalling his tireless mission to kill every last Nazi, in spite of them having killer robots, nukes and a lunar base. Rather than run through WW2 and resurrect the tired old links between Nazism and its apparent penchant for the occult, The New Order swung ahead to a 1960s Europe in which national socialism (with a little help from reverse-engineered ancient technology) was dominant. Pre-order access to the anticipated Doom (2016) beta didn’t hurt things either. Fortunately, in spite of a lingering skepticism that there was a market for throwback corridor shooters with cover mechanics, it turned out that developer MachineGames was onto something. No multiplayer, no lengthy campaign, just honest-to-goodness, balls-to-the-wall Nazi slaughter. The narrative from new publisher Bethesda was that, with shooters increasingly tearing through open worlds, its new Wolfenstein was a throwback to simpler times. Nazi zombies were all the rage in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.īy the time of The New Order’s release, its 2009 predecessor had been conveniently forgotten (still has – it’s not been available for sale since). Powered by the endemic Quake III Arena engine, RtCW introduced us to Deathshead, Übersoldaten and all manner of supernatural steam-powered cyber soldiers that the series has since become famed for. Blazkowicz was given his marching orders, and thanks to developer Gray Matter Studios (later to work on the early Call of Duty games) it was back to Castle Wolfenstein for the first time in a generation.Īfter the comparatively tame occult overtones of id’s games, it’s fair to say that Return to Castle Wolfenstein’s devs doubled down on them. However, with the growing popularity of World War 2 shooters like Medal of Honor in the late 1990s, Wolfenstein was deemed by Activision, then id Software’s publisher, to be worthy of a knee-high reboot. With the world quickly moving on to the demonic hellscapes of Doom and Quake, Wolfenstein 3D was quickly looked upon as a relic and the franchise was placed in the vault much like Silas Warner’s efforts had been for much of the 1980s. Wolfenstein games in order of influence would surely put 3D first.

Wolfenstein 3D put shareware at the forefront of PC game development for years to come and remains one of the most important titles ever released. The resulting game, released after 18 months of development, was a revelation, a smooth and action-packed shooter the likes of which hadn’t existed before. It could have been, and the ability to move and hide dead bodies was mooted, but engine performance demanded an action game that allowed for stormtroopers and their guard dogs to be mercilessly mown down. For one thing, Wolfenstein 3D was not a stealth game. The rights to the series were snapped up for a mere $5,000 and the rest is history.

As John Carmack evolved the tech that would power Catacomb 3-D, level designer John Romero suggested a 3D version of Castle Wolfenstein (id Software were all fans) as id’s next release.

Id Software, having completed it’s family-friendly Commander Keen series, was looking to set its sights on a game that was darker, faster and thoroughly three-dimensional.

Arguably the most influential game of all time, Wolfenstein 3D began life as a tech demo.
