Robots are one thing. Nazis are another. I just don’t know if I can handle Robot Nazis, but Bethesda Softworks plans to confront gamers with a combination of the two in an upcoming game.

Former Starbreeze employees, the team that produced The Darkness, founded Machine Games in 2009.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is an action-adventure reimagining of the classic first-person-shooter franchise. Bethesda plans to release it in the fourth quarter of this year.
“We are excited to bring a new chapter of Wolfenstein to gamers everywhere,” Machine Games creative director Jens Matthies said. “As fans of the series, working on this game is an honor, and our team is driven to create an unforgettable action-adventure experience that will make FPS fans proud.”
Bethesda released the following trailer:
Activision has Nazi zombies in Call of Duty. Now Bethesda has Nazi Robots.
The publisher confirmed that the machines in the trailer are Nazis in a warning that the game “should not be construed in any way to condone, glorify, or endorse the believes, ideologies, events, actions, persons, or behaviors of the Nazi regime or to trivialize its war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity.”
Hey, Bethesda? As long as we get to shoot them, I think everything is going to be OK.
