Jens Matthies, the creative director working at MachineGames, says that his team is introducing a stealth mechanic to Wolfenstein: The New Order and some sections of the game can only be completed by using the feature.
He tells VG247 that, “However, it really depends a lot on the scenario. There’ll be some areas in the game where stealth is really the only option but there will also be other sections where you also have a huge arsenal and stealth is less appealing.”
Some old-school fans of Wolfenstein will be unhappy to hear that mandatory stealth is introduced to a series that has traditionally focused on non-stop action.
The MachineGames team has already said that it plans to add a modern sensibility to the experience.
The New Order will be launched on the PC and on home consoles later in 2013.
