MachineGames creative director Jens Matthies revealed the figure today <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/254kiq/hey_riama_im_jens_matthies_creative_director_for/" rel="nofollow" data-ref-id="false">during a Reddit AMA session</a>.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">Matthies also pointed out that Wolfenstein: The New Order (which does not have a multiplayer mode) will encourage you to play through the game again, "especially to explore the alternate timeline," he said. He went on to say that early on in the game players will make a choice that will open up an alternate timeline which "changes the vibe of the story."</p><p dir="ltr" style="">"It's recommended to do a second play through and see what would have happened if you chose differently," he said. It's unclear how the paths differ.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">Also during the AMA, Matthies addressed the possibility of making a sequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order. Though nothing is decided yet, he said he would "love to do a sequel," or even an <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/return-to-castle-wolfenstein-enemy-territory/" data-ref-id="false">Enemy Territory</a>-style multiplayer game.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">"But MachineGames will never make both at the same time. We find that the best possible results come from having the whole team focused on a singular experience for the duration of the project," he said.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">"We have lots of ideas for a sequel and we'd love to do one," he added. "It hinges on the financial success of this one, of course."</p><p style="">Matthies also revealed during the AMA that the PC version of Wolfenstein: The New Order allows "complete key binding freedom."</p><p style="">Wolfenstein: The New Order launches <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/wolfenstein-the-new-order-release-date-crazy-bloody-trailer-revealed/1100-6417838/" data-ref-id="1100-6417838">May 20 </a>for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.

The new game is currently in development for PC and SteamOS, and the studio promises that it is "cranking it to 11" for Killing Floor 2.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">Killing Floor 2 takes place in continental Europe in a time when a deadly outbreak has spread, gathering "unstoppable momentum" and "essentially paralyzing the European Union." Set just a month after the events of the original Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2 drops players into a world where society is in total disarray. Communications are down, governments have collapses, and military forces are nowhere to be seen, Tripwire says.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">It's your job to enter this inhospitable world to exterminate specimen clone outbreaks and bring the madness to an end. Below are some key features for Killing Floor 2.</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><strong>"Visceral Gore"</strong> - Tripwire says it has a new, "high-powered" persistent blood system that should bring "new levels of [blood] fidelity to the genre." You'll send entrails, severed limbs, and blood flying as you fight through enemies.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Six-player co-op</strong> - You'll have a "multitude of varied playable characters" to choose from. You can also play the game solo.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>New enemies</strong> - Enemies new to the series, as well as fan-favorites from the original game (but with smarter AI), will be featured in Killing Floor 2.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Weapons</strong> - Tripwire promises a range of offerings, including modern militaristic assault rifles, makeshift guns, and even "Mad Scientist" weapons."</li><li dir="ltr"><strong> Perk system</strong> - The original game's perk system has been overhauled, Tripwire says, while new perks have also been added. Perks will progress with "meaningful talent choices" for specific playstyles, Tripwire says.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Melee combat</strong> - Tripwire says Killing Floor 2 "reinvents melee combat completely." You'll be able to choose the type of melee attacks you want to perform, though there's no details on how this will work just yet.</li></ul><p style="">Tripwire didn't say when Killing Floor 2 will be released.

The new game is currently in development for PC and SteamOS, and the studio promises that it is "cranking it to 11" for Killing Floor 2.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">Killing Floor 2 takes place in continental Europe in a time when a deadly outbreak has spread, gathering "unstoppable momentum" and "essentially paralyzing the European Union." Set just a month after the events of the original Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2 drops players into a world where society is in total disarray. Communications are down, governments have collapses, and military forces are nowhere to be seen, Tripwire says.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">It's your job to enter this inhospitable world to exterminate specimen clone outbreaks and bring the madness to an end. Below are some key features for Killing Floor 2.</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><strong>"Visceral Gore"</strong> - Tripwire says it has a new, "high-powered" persistent blood system that should bring "new levels of [blood] fidelity to the genre." You'll send entrails, severed limbs, and blood flying as you fight through enemies.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Six-player co-op</strong> - You'll have a "multitude of varied playable characters" to choose from. You can also play the game solo.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>New enemies</strong> - Enemies new to the series, as well as fan-favorites from the original game (but with smarter AI), will be featured in Killing Floor 2.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Weapons</strong> - Tripwire promises a range of offerings, including modern militaristic assault rifles, makeshift guns, and even "Mad Scientist" weapons."</li><li dir="ltr"><strong> Perk system</strong> - The original game's perk system has been overhauled, Tripwire says, while new perks have also been added. Perks will progress with "meaningful talent choices" for specific playstyles, Tripwire says.</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Melee combat</strong> - Tripwire says Killing Floor 2 "reinvents melee combat completely." You'll be able to choose the type of melee attacks you want to perform, though there's no details on how this will work just yet.</li></ul><p style="">Tripwire didn't say when Killing Floor 2 will be released.

It sells for $6.49, but it's only available in the United States for now. The game will be released in more regions as soon as NinjaBee can finish localization and rating certification, the company told GameSpot.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">Nutjitsu is only the second title ever released through Microsoft's new independent publishing program, ID@Xbox, following <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-ushers-in-a-new-era-as-first-id-xbox-game-arrives/1100-6418842/" data-ref-id="1100-6418842">Strike Suit Zero </a>last month.

There are 15 levels to explore and new gear to unlock.</p><p dir="ltr" style="">NinjaBee art director Brent Fox says in a statement that Nutjitsu's budget price and its bite-sized nature fills a content gap that exists right now on Xbox One. "There are some great AAA games on Xbox One, but there isn't as much in the way of bite-sized content or arcade thrills," Fox said. "Xbox One is also desperately short on games about ninja squirrels. We had to fix that."</p><p dir="ltr" style="">The PC version of Nutjitsu, currently available through Windows 8, is a free game. So why is the game a paid offering on Xbox One? "We were experimenting with a free-to-play model. We didn't like what it did to game balance and the user experience so much, so we decided to can the F2P approach, and allow users to get ALL the content with the base game purchase," NinjaBee <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-s-first-sub-10-game-launching-this-week/1100-6419461/" data-ref-id="1100-6419461">told GameSpot earlier this week</a>.</p><p style=""> </p><table data-max-width="true"><thead><tr><th scope="col"><em>Eddie Makuch is a news editor at GameSpot, and you can follow him on<a href="https://twitter.com/EddieMakuch" rel="nofollow" data-ref-id="false"> Twitter @EddieMakuch</a></em></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>Got a news tip or want to contact us directly?
