Id Software, the creators of the original game "Wolfenstein 3D", oversaw the development of the game and were credited as executive producers. The multiplayer side, developed by Nerve Software eventually became the most popular part of the game.

"I’ve been playing the character of B.J. Blazkowicz since the epic ‘Wolfenstein 3D’ first bruised my brain and have ever since wanted to bring his adventures to life on the bigscreen," Avary said.

"It’s time to bust some dams, storm some bunkers and blow up some bridges..."
