Beloved FPS Franchise Set to Make Epic Comeback
Exciting news for fans of a popular FPS series as a new job listing hints at the possibility of a long-awaited sequel The critically acclaimed franchise may finally be making a comeback in the near future
According to a recent job listing, fans of the classic FPS franchise, Wolfenstein, may have reason to celebrate. It appears that publisher ZeniMax is seeking new talent to work on a project related to the Wolfenstein franchise, which could indicate that Wolfenstein 3 is currently in development at MachineGames. This news is exciting for fans who appreciate the series' iconic villains and are eagerly anticipating the next installment. Wolfenstein's legacy dates back to 1981 when it was a stealth-action adventure game. However, it was the release of Wolfenstein 3D in 1992 that cemented its place in gaming history as the creator of the FPS genre, pre-dating Doom by a year. The franchise was revived in 2014 with the critically acclaimed Wolfenstein: The New Order, developed by MachineGames, which has since spawned a sequel and a spin-off, solidifying its reputation as one of the top FPS series of the past decade.
A recent job listing by ZeniMax suggests that a new Wolfenstein game may be in production or soon to start. The company is seeking a Senior Animator who has experience with immersive first-person shooters and has participated in the production of at least one AAA game. The job listing also mentions a strong familiarity with games developed by MachineGames, which is a detail that indicates a new Wolfenstein game is likely. However, there are no details about the game or its protagonist at this time, leaving the possibility open for speculation. The previous game, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, starred the sisters Jess and Soph Blazkowicz, but was not as well-received as the earlier titles in the series.
With its fast-paced gameplay and thrilling storyline, Wolfenstein 3 would be a welcome addition to Xbox Game Pass. As the platform is currently in need of more successful titles in 2023, the release of a new Wolfenstein game would be a highly anticipated event for gamers. Although the Xbox Games Showcase on June 11 may provide some insight into the potential release, all eyes are on Bethesda's Starfield as the main attraction for Game Pass this year.
