After 14 years in a Polish asylum, B.J. Blazkowicz takes up arms against a Nazi regime whose advanced technology helped defeat the Allies. Wolfenstein: The New Order follows his effort to rekindle rebellion and overthrow that regime.
Players fight through story-led levels from a first-person perspective, leaning around, above or beneath cover during shootouts and stealth sections. Weapons can be collected from the ground, taken from fallen enemies or detached from stationary positions and carried. Health regenerates within partially depleted sections, but losing a whole section means a health pack is needed to restore it.
