Since said spear is currently in the hands of Nazi Germany, this does not bode well for the course of the War, so stealing it from them is paramount to the Allies’ continued victory. As BJ Blazkowicz, your mission is to locate and steal an artifact known as the “Spear of Destiny,” reputedly the same spear that pierced Jesus Christ shortly after his crucifixion, that legends claim makes its wielder invincible. Spear of Destiny essentially acts as a prequel to the Wolfenstein saga.
Spear of Destiny could be considered more of an expansion pack to Wolf3D than a separate game, but it was sold instead as its own game, specifically for distribution at retail stores instead of mail-ordered like its predecessor. When Rise of the Triad stopped being a Wolfenstein sequel, the “true” sequel was developed in-house at id Software.
