Wolfenstein: Youngblood interview — Getting BJ’s daughters to behave

I’m looking forward to playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the two-player co-op shooter game coming from developers Machine Games and Arkane Studios Lyon, with Bethesda publishing the title. It features Sophia and Jessica, the twin daughters of BJ Blazkowicz, the hero of the previous two Wolfenstein games.

In this case, Blazkowicz is passing down the talent of kicking Nazi butt to a new generation. I’ve been a big fan of the Wolfenstein alternative history games, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. The super-charged testosterone of Blazkowicz as he tears through the Nazis in an alternate history universe where the Germans won World War II.
