First launched in 1981 by Muse Software and later id Software, the “Wolfenstein” video game franchise is set in an alternate history World War II that largely follow U.S. Army captain William “B.J.” Blazkowicz in his fight against the Nazis. There are more than a dozen games in the series with the two most recent installments being reboots developed by MachineGames in partnership with publisher Bethesda Softworks: 2014’s “Wolfenstein: The New Order” and 2017’s “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.”
“Wolfenstein 3” will mark the first game in the franchise to be developed by MachineGames under Xbox ownership following Microsoft’s acquisition of parent company ZeniMax Media in March 2021.
