Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a standalone prequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order. Set in 1946, it follows war hero B.J. Blazkowicz on a two-part mission in Bavaria as he tries to hinder the Nazi war machine, which is on the brink of winning World War II. The adventure spans eight chapters and two interconnected stories.

The story

In Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves, Blazkowicz breaks into Castle Wolfenstein to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound, facing the castle’s maniacal prison warden. In The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs, his search for the coordinates takes him to Wulfburg, where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is excavating mysterious artifacts that threaten to unleash an ancient power.

Combat and weapons

You fight in intense first-person combat with weapons including a bolt-action rifle, a 1946 shotgun and the grenade-launching Kampfpistole. New perks support action and stealth takedowns. You can also wield metal pipes in both hands, using them to climb walls or perform vicious takedowns.

Locations and enemies

The adventure takes you through rural German towns, valleys crossed by cable cars and bridges, ghostly catacombs and Castle Wolfenstein. You face a new cast of enemies, including hulking Super Soldiers, elite shock troops, drones and other Nazi creations.
