B.J. Blazkowicz is allegedly set for not one but TWO upcoming roles: One in the long-awaited Wolfenstein 3, and the other on the big screen as a fully fledged TV show.
From the early days of Wolfenstein 3D to Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, William Joseph Blazkowicz has had more than his fair share of trouble with Nazis. The modern-day Wolfenstein games have been a breath of fresh air, and we’ve been crying out for the next game with BJ Blazkowicz for a long time.

Indeed, Microsoft is actually developing a TV show based on Wolfenstein with the Fallout TV producers for Amazon — which fits heavily into Asha Sharma’s trans-media vision for Xbox. Wolfenstein 3 is in production to that end, according to our sources, with the goal of the TV show and game complimenting each other Fallout TV-style.’
This would align with our story that ZeniMax has been impacted by Xbox layoffs and will focus on its “Biggest Franchises.”
A new Wolfenstein 3 game is in development, it seems, and is almost a given with how popular the franchise is. However, a Wolfenstein TV show is a fascinating proposition.
Virtually every major gaming IP is being turned into some kind of movie or TV show lately, but I wouldn’t have pencilled Wolfenstein in for one of these slots, but who knows anymore!
Fallout and The Last of Us are paving the way for new game-to-screen adaptations, and if it’s done right, Wolfenstein could be a gory and glorious spectacle.
All this talk has put me in the mood for some Wolfenstein, and this trailer is perfect.
