One game that was on everybody’s lips last year was definitively Wolfenstein: The New Order,. It made countless top 5 lists and some even gave it their game of the year. Well, Bethesda is capitalizing on this situation and announced today the release of a standalone prequel to The New Order called Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.

You’re dropped in once again in the boots of BJ Blazkowicz for a 2-part story. Part one, named Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves, you must break in to Castle Wolfenstein and find the coordinates of General Deathshead’s compound while facing a maniacal prison warden. The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs, part 2 of BJ’s adventure, after find the coordinates, you are led to the city of Wulfburg where you must stopped a crazed archeologist that wants to release darkness into the world.

The prequel will be available to consumers on May 5th for the price of $19.99/£14.99 /€19.99/$39.95 AUS and the game will be playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Also, you’ll be able to watch a live stream from PAXeast of the game this Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th at 10:30 AM EST available here.

The new addition to the Wolfenstein universe seems like it will be a great one for the fans of the series and will be enjoyed by most. I didn’t get a chance to play The New Order last year so I wonder if I could play Old Blood without having to play New Order before.
