It Looks Like Wolfenstein 3 Is Putting Nazis Where They Belong: Jail
Microsoft has confirmed Wolfenstein 3, with MachineGames developing the third instalment in its planned first-person shooter trilogy. A glimpse of the script suggests its opening chapter, “Nazitraz”, will place Nazi prisoners in a revolutionary-run Alcatraz, reversing the series’ earlier image of B.J. Blazkowicz escaping from a Nazi prison.
The script excerpt shows B.J. entering an interrogation cell where a prisoner named Otto panics at his reputation, and includes a reference to returning character Fergus Reid. That may signal the return of the series’ choice between Fergus and Wyatt, though the story and any effects of that choice remain unconfirmed. The article speculates that B.J. could head to Europe to confront the Nazis’ leadership, while noting the game has no announced plot outline or trailer.
In short
- Wolfenstein 3 is confirmed and in development at MachineGames.
- Its opening chapter may feature a prison for Nazi captives.
- A script reference to Fergus hints at returning character choices.
