The Apogee FAQ: Section [2.8.11]: Rise of the Triad Back in early 1994, a game called "Wolfenstein 3D: Part II" was under production. This was dropped, and the project became "Rise of the Triad," or, as it is casually known, "ROTT." Version 1.0 was released on December 21, 1994; in February 1995, versions 1.1 and 1.2 were released.
