All Wolfenstein Games In Order

1. Wolfenstein 3D (1992)

Captured while on a mission to uncover the secrets of the Third Reich, Allied spy B.J. Blazkowicz is imprisoned within the grim stone walls of Castle Wolfenstein. After a daring cellblock escape, he must navigate a labyrinth of fortified corridors and hidden chambers to find a way out. Every turn reveals more of the regime's ruthless efficiency and the sheer scale of the fortress intended to be his tomb.

The escape attempt quickly evolves into a critical reconnaissance mission as B.J. discovers evidence of a horrific biological program. The soldiers guarding the facility are merely the first line of defense against experiments that defy the laws of nature. As he pushes deeper into the stronghold, the realization dawns that the regime is not just building weapons, but an army of the undead.

Working alone in enemy territory, B.J. carries the weight of the Allied cause on his shoulders with no hope for immediate extraction. His internal resolve is tested by the sheer isolation of the castle and the grotesque sights he encounters in the lower labs. The mission becomes a singular struggle for survival against a backdrop of clinical, systematized cruelty.

As he reaches the final inner sanctum, B.J. comes face-to-face with the high-ranking architect of this nightmare. The battle for the castle's secrets reaches a fever pitch, with the future of the war effort hanging on his ability to dismantle the regime's occult leadership. He is left standing at a threshold where victory means escaping one fortress only to face an even greater global threat.

2. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001)

B.J. Blazkowicz is dispatched to the remote mountains of Germany to investigate rumors of the SS Paranormal Division's activity. Alongside a fellow agent, he is tasked with infiltrating the ancestral home of the regime's ideology to stop "Operation Resurrection." The mission begins in shadow, but the stillness of the mountain air is soon shattered by the sounds of ancient, restless spirits.

The conflict escalates when B.J. discovers that the regime’s scientists are blending primitive necromancy with modern mechanical engineering. They seek to revive an ancient dark knight, Heinrich I, to lead their armies to a supernatural victory. B.J. must fight through both elite paratroopers and resurrected warriors, moving from the ruins of old crypts to the sterile halls of high-tech laboratories.

B.J. acts as the ultimate disruptor, a man of flesh and blood fighting against horrors that should have stayed buried. He witnesses the tragic results of the regime’s hubris as they lose control of the very forces they sought to weaponize. This theme of unnatural ambition highlights the fragility of the world if B.J. fails to sever the connection between the modern world and the ancient void.

The trail leads to an excavation site where the ritual to awaken the ultimate darkness has already begun. As the earth shakes and the sky darkens, B.J. must navigate a battlefield where science and sorcery have collided into total chaos. He is faced with a final, desperate struggle to prevent a primordial evil from claiming the twentieth century as its own.

3. Wolfenstein (2009)

In the fictional city of Isenstadt, B.J. Blazkowicz uncovers a secret energy source known as the Black Sun. Utilizing a mysterious Thule medallion, he gains the ability to enter the "Veil," a parallel dimension that grants him supernatural powers. The regime is feverishly mining this dimension to power weapons that could vaporize entire cities in an instant.

As B.J. aligns with local resistance groups, the urban warfare in Isenstadt turns into a psychedelic nightmare. The Veil begins to bleed into reality, distorting time and space while empowering enemy officers with horrific abilities. B.J. must balance his use of the medallion’s power with his mission to sabotage the massive crystals fueling the regime’s dimensional gateway.

The story explores the corruptive nature of power as B.J. sees the toll the Black Sun energy takes on those who covet it. He finds himself caught between the desperate pleas of the resistance and the overwhelming technological might of the SS. His role shifts from a simple soldier to a guardian of the barrier between two worlds, bearing the physical and mental strain of the Veil.

B.J. eventually tracks the project leader to a massive zeppelin hovering over the city, where the final stage of the Black Sun experiment is ready to launch. The instability of the dimension threatens to pull the entire region into a void of nothingness. He must reach the heart of the ship and make a choice that could either save reality or shatter it forever.

4. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (2015)

Returning to the infamous Castle Wolfenstein in 1946, B.J. Blazkowicz must steal a top-secret folder containing the location of General Deathshead’s compound. Disguised as an SS officer, he enters the fortress during a time of heightened paranoia and ancient superstition. The mission is a race against time, as the Allied front is crumbling and this intelligence is their last hope for a turning point.

The situation spirals out of control when B.J.’s cover is blown, leading to a brutal cat-and-mouse game through the castle’s vertical architecture. He eventually escapes to the nearby village of Wulfburg, only to find the local archaeological dig has unearthed a catastrophic curse. The regime’s obsession with their "pure" lineage has awakened a plague that turns both soldiers and civilians into mindless, burning husks.

The narrative emphasizes the grim contrast between B.J.’s stoic professionalism and the frantic insanity of the SS commander, Helga von Schabbs. As the village is consumed by fire and the undead, B.J. reflects on the cycle of violence that seems to haunt the German soil. He is forced to witness the total destruction of a community by the very leaders who claimed to protect it.

Deep within the subterranean dig site, B.J. finds Helga attempting to command the ancient "Monstrosity" that has been unleashed. The air is thick with ash and the screams of the dying as the creature begins its final rampage. B.J. must destroy the beast and secure the folder, knowing that even if he survives, the world he is trying to save is already on the brink of a dark new era.

5. Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014)

Waking from a fourteen-year vegetative state in 1960, B.J. Blazkowicz finds a world he no longer recognizes. The Nazis won the war, having conquered the globe and even reached the moon through stolen, advanced technology. He joins a ragtag group of resistance fighters hiding in the heart of Berlin, determined to strike back at the regime that stole his life.

The resistance launches a series of high-stakes raids to reclaim ancient technology and free political prisoners from high-security labor camps. As they strike at the regime’s infrastructure, the scale of the enemy’s dominance becomes increasingly clear. From the concrete fortresses of London to the research stations on the lunar surface, B.J. must dismantle a global machine that seems invincible.

The story focuses on the deep bonds formed within the Kreisau Circle and B.J.’s blooming relationship with Anya, a nurse who saved him. These human connections provide a sharp contrast to the cold, industrial brutality of the Nazi world order. B.J. grapples with his role as a relic of a lost age, trying to find meaning in a world that has largely forgotten the concept of freedom.

The final assault brings B.J. to the fortress of his longtime nemesis, General Deathshead, for a definitive confrontation. The facility is a graveyard of B.J.’s former comrades, filled with the psychological scars of a decade of torture. As he fights through the final defenses, he is faced with a decision that will determine if the spark of revolution can truly be ignited in a world of total darkness.

6. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (2017)

Physically broken but unyielding, B.J. Blazkowicz returns to an occupied United States to rally the disparate resistance cells for a second American Revolution. Aboard the stolen U-boat "Eva's Hammer," the crew coordinates attacks on Nazi-controlled landmarks across the ruins of New York and the radioactive wastes of New Orleans. The mission is to take back the homeland by any means necessary, starting with the elimination of the regime's high command.

The conflict becomes deeply personal as B.J. is forced to confront his own childhood home and the abusive father who betrayed him. The regime has integrated into American society, with white-clad soldiers marching through small-town parades and the KKK acting as their local enforcers. This cultural invasion adds a layer of psychological horror to the mission, as B.J. realizes that some of his countrymen have embraced the new order.

Themes of fatherhood and legacy come to the forefront as B.J. prepares for the birth of his twin daughters in a world that wants them dead. He struggles with his failing body, relying on a powered exosuit to keep fighting while fearing he won't live to see the revolution succeed. The narrative balances high-octane violence with quiet, devastating moments of reflection on the cost of liberty and the weight of the Blazkowicz name.

The resistance executes a daring plan to assassinate the regime’s public face during a live television broadcast in the heart of the occupied territory. The event is intended to be a beacon for all oppressed Americans to rise up and reclaim their dignity. As the cameras roll and the world watches, B.J. stands at the center of a bloody spectacle, unsure if the resulting fire will purge the nation or simply consume him.

7. Wolfenstein: Youngblood (2019)

In the 1980s, B.J. Blazkowicz has mysteriously vanished in Nazi-occupied Paris, prompting his twin daughters, Jess and Soph, to embark on a desperate rescue mission. They link up with the French Resistance in the catacombs beneath the city, navigating a neon-soaked urban landscape filled with high-tech soldiers and towering mechs. The sisters must learn to become the warriors their father was, while searching for clues to his location.

The search leads them to three massive security towers, known as the "Brothers," which control the city's surveillance and defense networks. As they infiltrate these fortresses, the sisters discover that their father was investigating a secret much larger than a simple political resistance. The regime is hiding a portal to another dimension, and B.J. believed it was the key to ending the Nazi threat once and for all.

The bond between the two sisters is the core of the narrative, as they support each other through their first kills and the realization of the world's cruelty. They struggle with the expectations of being "Terror-Billy’s" children, trying to find their own identity while following in his blood-soaked footsteps. Their youthful energy and camaraderie provide a unique perspective on a war that has lasted for generations.

The twins eventually uncover a hidden laboratory where a device known as the "God Key" is being tested, potentially capable of altering reality itself. They find evidence that B.J. has entered a dangerous new frontier, leaving them to defend the city against a massive counter-attack. With the fate of Paris and their father’s life on the line, the sisters must decide if they are ready to step into the void and face the unknown.
