Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames' alternate-history Wolfenstein franchise is returning, but not with a new game from the Xbox first-party teams.
That's according to a report from Variety, which wrote on Friday that a Wolfenstein TV series is in development at Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video. According to Variety, very little is known at this time, with the plot being kept a closely guarded secret. The logline, however, is extraordinarily pointed:
“The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.”
The creative team behind this project includes a fair number of veterans from the Fallout TV series on Prime Video, with Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy from Kilter Films executive producing the project.
Bethesda Softworks' James Altman is also producing, as is Jerk Gustafsson of MachineGames. Finally, Patrick Somerville is attached as the creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the project.
MachineGames led development on the recent Wolfenstein games, launching Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus in 2014, 2015, and 2017, respectively.
The developers teamed up with sister studio Arkane Lyon for Wolfenstein: Youngblood, which launched in 2019.
These Wolfenstein stories follow an alternate history in which Nazi Germany won World War 2, subjugating much of the world and unleashing atrocities on minorities.
