Pete Hines, the vice president in charge of marketing at Bethesda, believes that Wolfenstein is still relevant in many ways for first-person shooter fans, even if the series has not impressed the audience in recent years.

The executive speaks to IGN about the announcement of The New Order and says, “We’re not doing Wolfenstein because we think, ‘oh, everybody thinks of Wolfenstein when they think first-person shooters.’ We’re not that naive. But we do think there’s something to this world.”

The core idea of the game is still cool and the development team at MachineGames will use ideas taken from Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness to enhance it.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is set in an alternate history where the Nazis used superior technology in order to win World War II.

Players will have to use the same weapons to battle enemy soldiers and robotic enemies.
