Wolfenstein TNO: It Would be fun to make an Enemy Territory-Style Multiplayer Game

By Katie Williams Wolfenstein: The New Order's creative director Jens Matthies has divulged a number of tidbits on a Reddit AMA, revealing that an Enemy Territory-style multiplayer game would be fun to develop as a possible sequel - but that developer MachineGames would "never" work on both a single-player and multiplayer campaigns at the same time.

"I think it would be a lot of fun to make an Enemy Territory style multiplayer game," said Matthies, responding to a Reddit user's question about the direction a sequel might take. "But MachineGames will never make both at the same time. We find that the best possible results come from having the whole team focused on a singular experience for the duration of the project."

Matthies also mentioned that a single playthrough of The New Order - which was famously revealed early on in its life to not include any multiplayer component - will end up "close to 20 hours," with further incentive to replay the campaign to explore an alternate timeline. Additionally, he reports that The New Order will run with "minimal visual disparity at 60fps/1080p on all platforms."

He also said that he hopes that creators of the original Wolfenstein 3D John Carmack and John Romero would be proud of the series' new turn, saying, "This game is our love letter to id Software and the shooters we grew up with, so I hope they'll like it. I don't think they will be expecting such a developed story line though ;)"

"We've worked extremely hard to make sure the id guys wouldn't feel like their trust in us was misplaced."

Wolfenstein: The New Order will launch globally on May 20 for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, though recently, it was revealed that gamers in Germany and Austria would be playing an altered version due to laws banning Nazi imagery.
