6 Things You Didn’t Know About Wolfenstein: The New Order (in text form)

6.After World War 2 ended, Germany creates a series of laws that made it illegal for any non-educational media referencing the Nazi Party to be sold in Germany. Nazi’s are a primary focus of Wolfenstein The New Order. To sell their game in Germany, MachineGames renamed the Nazi’s to the Regime and changed hundreds of in-game models to reference the Regime instead of the Nazi Party. This made Wolfenstein: The New Order the first Wolfenstein game to be released in Germany.

5. In the headquarters of those resisting the Nazi’s, you can kind some artwork from Wolfenstein 3D on the wall above a mattress in the corner on the upper level. Sleeping in the bed will cause Blazkowicz to have a “Nightmare” which let’s the player play a remake of the first two levels of Wolfenstein 3D.

4. In the 7th chapter of The New Order, you are tasked with getting a concrete sample for Anya. When searching for the concrete, you can find two vault doors that have the number 101 written on them. This is an obvious reference to Fallout 3 in which the main character emerges from Vault 101 at the beginning of the game. Another Fallout easter egg can be found in the first mission of the Old Blood DLC. On a vending machine you can see a button for Nuka Cola, a caffeinated beverage found in the Fallout franchise.

3. During The Old Blood’s prologue, after you enter Castle Wolfenstein, you can find an iron helmet sitting on top of some boxes. The helmet is from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which was published by Bethesda, just like The New Order was.

2. During the boss fight with Deathshead, he will shout "Die, Allied Schweinehund!” at Blazkowicz, which is a reference to the final encounter with Hitler in Wolfenstein 3D Episode 3. The mech suit Deathshead wears is also similar to Hitler’s from Episode 3.

1. The original design for BJ Blazkowicz was a little different than the Blazkowicz we see in the final game. The most notable difference is his red hair. While it matches the model from the original Wolfenstein, Jen Matthies, one of the founders of MachineGames, said in an interview with CNET that Blazowicz was always supposed to be a “dirty blonde”, but his hair was red due to technical limitations of the era. The current Blazkowicz is much closer to what ID Software had envisioned for the character when he was created back in 1992.
