Wolfenstein: The New Order
Yesterday, Bethesda released a trailer to announce the latest installment in the Wolfenstein series, Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Here’s the trailer for your viewing pleasure:
As most people who grew up playing PC games, I’m a big fan of the series so a new installment is great news. And although the trailer is just mainly a concept trailer, there’s enough in here to already get me pumped. How do I love thee, Wolfenstein: The New Order announcement trailer? Let me count the ways.
- New Wolfenstein? check
- Bethesda is producing it? check
- Alternate history imagining (the Nazis have won WWII and taken over the world at the start of this game)? check
- Nazi war robots? check
- Nazi war robots and set in the 1960s? double check
- Grizzled veteran B.J. Blazkowicz informing the Nazis that their new death machines are no match for the good old fashioned American ass-kicking he’s about to deliver? check
- “They forgot about me.” check
- “All Along the Watchtower,” which is scientifically proven to make every trailer it is played in approximately 6 billion times better than it already is? check
- [not actually shown in the trailer, but] single-player only FPS? check, because hopefully this means the story will be balls-to-the-wall Nazi fighting with all the development time spent on the campaign
- One man taking on an entire planet of Nazis? mother fuckin’ check, y’all.
It’s obviously super early in the process, but I’m excited.
