description Wolfenstein: The New Order Overview

While not a Doom game, Wolfenstein: The New Order is the most significant modern influence on the 'Doom' style of combat.

For fans who enjoy the visceral feel of Doom but want a more narrative-driven experience with cinematic storytelling, this title is a high-quality alternative.

help Wolfenstein: The New Order FAQ

Is Wolfenstein: The New Order connected to id Software's original Wolfenstein 3D?

Yes, it is part of the Wolfenstein series, but it is a 2014 reboot-era entry developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks. It keeps BJ Blazkowicz as the lead and moves the story into an alternate 1960s timeline where the Nazis won World War II.

Why do Doom fans often get recommended Wolfenstein: The New Order?

It shares the aggressive first-person shooter feel of modern id-style games: dual-wielding, heavy weapons, fast room-clearing, and loud combat. It also has a direct link through composer Mick Gordon, who worked on The New Order before Doom 2016.

What platforms can you play Wolfenstein: The New Order on?

The game launched on Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in May 2014. On current Xbox hardware it is commonly played through backward compatibility rather than a native new-generation version.

Does The New Order have multiplayer like older Wolfenstein games?

No, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a single-player campaign game. MachineGames built it around BJ's story, branching timeline choices early in the game, and large combat arenas rather than online modes.
