Proving that you can’t keep a good gun-totin’, hatchet-wieldin’, Nazi-killin’ badass down, BJ Blazkowicz is back in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. The sequel to the critically acclaimed shooter from award-winning studio MachineGames was announced at the Bethesda E3 2017 showcase, and will be available on October 27, 2017, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Set in America in 1961, The New Colossus will take BJ (dubbed “Terror-Billy” by the Nazis) from post-nuclear Manhattan to small-town Roswell to the bayous and boulevards of New Orleans and beyond, as he leads the Resistance against the Nazi occupation of his beloved country.

But this isn’t just the riveting tale of one man’s mission to build a movement and fight the evil that’s overtaken his nation. BJ must also rebuild himself. After barely surviving the assassination of Nazi General Deathshead at the end of Wolfenstein: The New Order, BJ begins his exhilarating adventure while still recovering from his extensive injuries. Bloody but unbowed, he soon finds himself fully restored and stronger than ever. Along the way, BJ will mow down anyone in his path using an awesome arsenal of high-tech weaponry, including the Laserkraftwerk (perfect for disintegrating Nazi goons) or the Dieselkraftwerk (built to blast a bunch of enemies with gas-powered grenades). BJ can also get up close and personal using the new hatchet – because there’s nothing more satisfying than slamming a handheld ax into the crunchy cranium of a vile Nazi commandant.

Whatever weapons he chooses to use, BJ can not only dual-wield anything from advanced pistols and submachine guns (or any combo of his powerful armaments), but he can upgrade those weapons as well – allowing for even more versatility when it comes to everyone’s favorite pastime: killing Nazis.

And he’ll need every weapon he can find, because this time it’s even more personal. Not only is BJ fighting to take back his homeland, but he’s doing it alongside old friends (including returning favorites like Caroline, Bombate, Set, Max Hass, Fergus or Wyatt, and his now-pregnant partner Anya). These allies – along with new characters like Horton and Grace – will help BJ take down the villainous Frau Engel and her Nazi army, and spark the second American Revolution, ensuring there’s a future for the burgeoning Blazkowicz family.

A world-class shooter with gripping gameplay, compelling characters and a captivating story, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus puts you into the Nazi-stomping boots of BJ Blazkowicz and lets you unleash your inner war hero. Whether you like to sneak around, run-and-gun, take a tactical approach – or all of the above – your goal remains the same: Rally the resistance and end the Nazi’s tyrannical reign in America.

Wolfenstein meets Man in the High Castle?
By the way, I liked The New Order and the change of location is promising, so I'll follow this one.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Gotta admit, I liked The New Order more than nuDoom.

It's pretty interesting that if we ignore TNO's prologue, both game basically starts in the same way: Blazkowicz wakes up after a trauma, has a big scar on his head and the first person to appear in front of him is Anya.

Also there's a season pass, more story content incoming?

Oh come on, man.

The end of the last game, BJ took a nuclear weapon direct to the face. I don't care how much super secret jewish technology the resistance has, he's dead. They're seriously trying to make this game in continuity with the same characters?

Weren't there zombies in old blood? But hey, they could forget about the nazi magic again.

Um we're trying to make a deep Tarantino-esque story here. It's gonna be super gritty and emotional. Now listen to a speech plagiarized from Half Life 2 while you ponder why the Jewish Illuminati was holding back all this amazing technology from the rest of the world.

That communist guy looks pretty morally dubious, I bet the tweest will be that you fight him in the second half

Nu-Wolf was very solid. It was oddly refreshing to see forced stealth sections, reminded me a bit of Butcher Bay. I appreciate that it's endeavoring to do more than just provide action sequences. Definitely a title to get if you're into shooters. You could always skip the narrative if it's beneath you.

I just can't wait for the game's soundtrack. I'm listening to the track from the previous game over and over again. I can safely say that was my favourite game soundtrack of all time.
