Wolfenstein TTRPG Coming From Modiphius

Modiphius has announced plans to develop the Wolfenstein video game IP into a tabletop roleplaying game. The game will utilize Modiphius's 2d20 system, with a crowdfunding campaign planned for Fall 2026. Per a press release, the game will specifically focus on Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.

For those unfamiliar with Wolfenstein, it's set in a world in which the Nazis defeat the Allies in World War II and then use advanced technology to conquer much of the world. Players are typically members of the resistance, stealing various weaponry from the Nazis and then defeating both Nazis and their monstrous science experiments.

Modiphius has a relationship with Bethesda, the owner of Wolfenstein, and makes a series of games based on the Fallout franchise. The Fallout RPG also uses a variation of the 2D20 system as well. Modiphius also develops a series of games based on Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series.

Modiphius has a sign-up page to be informed of when the crowdfunding campaign for the Wolfenstein RPG launches on GameFound.

It's been done for years with all manner of systems. d6 with Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters, GURPS with a slew of fictional adaptations (Horseclans, Witch World, Discworld, etc.), Renegade (GI Joe, Transformers, etc.) and even d20/D&D (Wheel of Time, Black Company, etc.). Why wouldn't they do something like this? The relationship between companies is there, why not work together more?

D20 system with… everything. D&D 5E with… everything!

Nope. Too realistic for my escapism.

Hopefully they use the Fallout RPG version as the basis for the WSRPG. It is by far my favourite version of the 2d20 system

Killing nazis is great ( as a big fan of Eat the Reich).

Do you get to fight mecha-Hitler?

Except the ones we really want: Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect come immediately to mind.

I've never played either of those, but I love Fallout, Conan, Star Trek, and Wolfenstein. Go Modiphius!

If in the illustration it doesn't make "GROK" sounds i will be very disappointed.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I'm actually having a hard time seeing it. Maybe for gonzo one-shots? But not for campaign play and character development.

EDIT: Ok, and I'm a bit cynical about Modiphius' reflexic habit of recycling their one system to turn popular IPs into RPGs.

I get that. But in this case, the makers of Achtung! Cthulhu pivoting to Achtung! Werewolf Nazis feels pretty reasonable.

Yup. In fact the A!C system version of 2D20 would be pretty good for this.

D20 system with… everything. D&D 5E with… everything!

That, too. But it's not WotC itself doing all those conversions. Which in my mind is a bit different.

No, sadly. Mecha-Hitler publicly challenges his rivals to fights, but then he keeps making excuses to get out of it.
