The 2009 sequel to ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein]]'', titled simply '''''Wolfenstein''''', is a [[First-Person Shooter]] using a modified version of the Doom 3 engine developed by Raven Software, the acclaimed team behind such series as ''[[Star Trek Elite Force]]'', ''[[Soldier of Fortune]]'', ''[[Dark Forces Saga|Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy]]'', and ''[[Quake 4|Quake IV]]''.
 
The game's plot is a continuation of ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein'', which was itself inspired by ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' (and, before that, the original ''[[Castle Wolfenstein]]''), and features American super-spy B.J. Blazkowicz attempting to foil an attempt by the Nazis to harness the power of the Black Sun, an ancient alternate dimension which the SS are using to create all manner of [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]] and monsters. Besides an arsenal of WWII-era firearms and several experimental Nazi energy weapons, B.J. is also assisted by a magic amulet that allows him to tap into "The Veil" between dimensions and harness special powers such as [[Bullet Time]] and an energy shield.
 
''Wolfenstein'' takes place in and around the German town of Isenstadt, and uses a partial [[Wide Open Sandbox]] system, with the player traveling through the town, buying weapons from the Black Market, interacting with residents and members of the German resistance groups Kreisau Circle and Golden Dawn, and traveling to specific areas of the town (i.e. Warehouse, Cannery, Dig Site) to take part in story-based linear missions.

* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Vaguely lampshaded at the end of the game by a black market dealer who continues to charge you money for upgrades and ammo ''just hours'' before the Nazis are about to destroy the entire town with a super-powered death ray. He says something to the effect of "yes, I have to make money somehow...". It gets even more ridiculous when you realize that he was with the comparatively "good" Kriege brother. The "Bad" one, well...
