Machine Games took charge of development for the Wolfenstein franchise including the May 2014 release of Wolfenstein: The New Order which was followed by a standalone expansion titled Wolfenstein: The Old Blood in May 2015. It would be eight years from the original release of Return to Castle Wolfenstein until another story-driven first-person shooter set within the Wolfenstein series would emerge in 2009 simply titled Wolfenstein which launched on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Wolfenstein made a comeback in 2001 with the release of the much refined and graphically enhanced first-person shooter Return to Castle Wolfenstein on PC before a PS2 and Xbox port was released in 2003 followed by a multiplayer expansion in the form of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Wolfenstein 3D and its prequel expansion titled Spear of Destiny debuted on MS-DOS on May 5th 1992 which was followed by ports on a variety of computers and consoles including Atari Jaguar, Mac OS and SNES in 1994, while a particularly excellent 3DO port released in September 1995 winning GamePro’s 3DO Game of the Year Award in 1995, alongside ports to even more modern consoles including Gameboy Advance, Xbox and PS3. ID Software’s Commander Keen which released in 1990 is connected to Wolfenstein in the sense that the lead character is named William Joseph “Billy Blaze” Blazkowicz II the grandson of William “B.J.” Blazkowicz. Wolfenstein is most classically associated with Wolfenstein 3D, but the origins of the Wolfenstein series actually date back to 1981 when Silas Warner at Muse Software created Castle Wolfenstein which combined stealth, action and adventure set in the time of World War II from a 2D side scrolling perspective initially releasing on Apple II before later being ported to Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 and MS-DOS, while a sequel followed in 1984 titled Beyond Castle Wolfenstein that released on the same platforms.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a first-person shooter game available from retail stores and for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4.
