For the third week in a row, Epic is giving away strong food for shooter fans: this time it’s Wolfenstein: The New Order’s turn. In the role of BJ Blazkowicz, the 2014 reboot lets you shoot down tons of sinister regime henchmen.
How long does the promotion run? You can get Wolfenstein: The New Order for free between June 2nd and June 9th, 2022 at 17:00. If you grab the game in this time frame, you can keep it permanently. An Epic Games account is required.
If you want to have a look at the game again, here is Petra’s review from 2014:
Wolfenstein: The New Order im Test
The best Blazkowicz
That’s what Wolfenstein: The New Order is all about
In the alternate 1960s of Wolfenstein: The New Order, the Third Reich won World War II and is now ruling the world. In the Europe version, Nazi symbolism was replaced by alternative symbols of the so-called regime.
Players slip into the role of the hero BJ Blazkowicz, fight their way through many hose levels and shoot down rows of technically highly equipped regime henchmen. The story is supported by numerous cutscenes that give the game a certain cinematic touch.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is a largely classic single-player first-person shooter. So players get a large arsenal of weapons, lots of enemies of all shapes and sizes, and a few stealth passages here and there.

Suitable for whom?
Apart from the fact that Wolfenstein: The New Order is a competent first-person shooter: Above all, the scenario is also worthwhile for players who may not otherwise have much to do with shooting. Because the way Bethesda and Machine Games stage their alternate timeline can definitely leave a lasting impression.
However, you have to be ready to shoot a lot. Wolfenstein: The New Order is therefore not suitable as a pure story and scenario sightseeing.
Here’s the action
