Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Bethesda Is Releasing Doom & Wolfenstein II On The Switch

In Nintendo's livestream today they let us a know a couple Bethesda games are coming to the Switch. Skyrim is coming this November which was previously announced at E3. The latest news though is pretty interesting as Doom 2016 is coming this holiday and Wolfenstein II is coming next year. This is pretty big news for Switch owners as Nintendo, to date, hasn't really received a lot of big box third party titles and seeing Bethesda jump in is really interesting. I have questions about how good the ports play and the graphics of the games but if they work out well enough, this could be really interesting for the longevity of Switch and how certain gamers look at it.

Blitzmensch Is Every Nazi's Hero!

I think Bethesda might be the kings and queens of next level video game advertising that border on satirical art. With the recent protests of actual Nazi's in the US (can't believe that shit is real and happening) Wolfenstein II is verging into eerily real territory. In an earlier trailer for Wolf II Nazi's and the KKK stand side by side in an American street as buddies. With all that's happening in the US and the story iD Software wants to tell with Wolfenstein II it's just an interesting intersection where art imitates life but in the words of everyone favorite Nazi hunter BJ Blazkowicz...

I'm Going To Have To Inform On You!

All aboard the Wolfenstein II media hype train! Last stop is the game drop October 27th!

PS Don't eat candy bars in Nazi controlled America!

As Long As There Are Nazi's In The World BJ Will Keep Busy

New Wolfenstein is coming soon and as such Bethesda is pushing it hard online. Some of the stuff coming out is pretty interesting including the above mini conversation with Wolfensteins designers. The key takeaway from this video? Expect many Nazis to die by the hands of the resistance.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and all of it's Nazi murder simulative goodness will release October 27th on PC, PS4 and XBox One.

Only 173 Days Left of English

Another Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus video hit YouTube today from the alternate history gameshow German or Else! Apparently people in the United States have 173 days to switch over to speaking only German and the gameshow is a way educate people on the change. It's a funny concept until they take away the loser at the end for re-education. They end the clip with some in game footage and I really find the scene with the SS officers chumming it up with the KKK to be particularly disturbing.

October 27th can't come quickly enough.

This is so Bethesda. It reminds me of Fallout. I don't know if "campy" is the right term to use to describe this. It's cool and funny though. As for me, I don't know much German. I know "I love you" and that's about it.

I think I will pre-order Wolfenstein II, but I might wait until October.

> I think I will pre-order Wolfenstein II, but I might wait until October.

I'll buy it if I have time to play it when it comes out. There aren't any pre-order bonuses for getting it early so i'm not sure there is a compelling reason to do so if I can't play it at launch. If i'm going to get it i'll also get it in a PC box. Same price as Steam and then I can drop it on my shelf.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Drops October 27th And Looks Incredible!

I think I could handle a new Wolfenstein game released every few years that continues the fucking bananas storyline that MachineGames created in the epic Wolfenstein: The New Order that they are continuing in The New Colossus. Looks like BJ survived the events of the first game(spoiler alert) and is going to be a father of twins! I like how everyone that survived the first game is back and that they've added some all new characters to the game that look like a lot of fun. MachineGames New Order was one of the best story driven shooters i've played in years and is a game i've actually come back to play a couple times over. In The New Colossus BJ is set on seeing...

I recently finished the other two Wolfenstein games. They weren't very long. They weren't bad either. I may pick this one up eventually, just not sure when. It does look cool though, although I don't have much of an appetite for shooters.

The Old Blood was meant to be short. Kinda standalone DLC to The New Order. But TNO wasn't very long either. Kinda hit the sweet spot for me for how long a straight FPS should be.

And this one looks bonkers as ever! Wow, I can't wait for this.

Knowing how good TNO is and then seeing this amazing return of BJ gets me really excited for New Colossus. I missed Old Blood. Now might be a good time to visit that one.

It really was in that I actually finished it and by the end was very happy with it and didn't think it was overstuffed. On another note I still haven't completed Borderlands 2 because it's really long

> I missed Old Blood. Now might be a good time to visit that one.

Me too and it's now at the top of my list to buy in the upcoming Steam Summer Sale!

Looks like there will be three version of Wolf II you can buy:

The normal $60 game

The $80 deluxe edition (includes the season pass. yep, wolf II is getting a season pass)

The $99 BJ Action Figure Collectors Edition Set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM5shE229v0

Also, a new behind the scenes mini doc on where the game story picks up, where BJ is at and how they approached making the new game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUFryhE5rwA

So excited to play this!

Travis Admin wrote on 06/14/2017 at 01:16pm

OK the BJ action figure is a no brainer. I'm surprised it took this long for one.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/19/2017 at 03:35am

I just want to revisit this since it's been a few days since this was announced. From what I've seen about E3, this is one of the top three things I've seen out of E3 this year. I might pre-order it. One hesitation I have is buying the season pass, because I did that with Doom and the extra cost of the season pass was a waste to me, because I haven't played multiplayer nor do I want to.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/19/2017 at 03:44am

I think the season pass will be for actual story content as Wolfenstein doesn't have any mulitplayer modes. I guess it could be the additions of more guns in the story mode, but it SEEMS like it's gonna be more story stuff. Hopefully.

But i'm not picking it up now and want to know more.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/19/2017 at 03:49am

Yeah the key is to read the description, which I nearly didn't. I almost bought Doom's but didn't because it was specific that it would all be multiplayer content. In my excitement I almost missed that. Still hoping for some story DLC for that one. What an incredible game!

But yeah I will definitely hold off on a season pass for Wolf 2 until we know more for sure.
