PRE-ORDER

WOLFENSTEIN II:
THE NEW COLOSSUS
ORDER HAS EVOLVED INTO COLOSSAL CHAOS
BY EVAN SLEAD

hen Wolfenstein: The New Order
was unleashed on players in
2014, it not only reintroduced
the classic shooter series in a modern way,
but it packed an intense Axis-killing punch
that matched the graphical impressiveness of
its competitors. Apart from its addictive firstperson gameplay filled with a creative variety
of weapons, The New Order's greatest strength
came from a memorable cast of characters
set in an alternate take on World War II. Now,
in 2017, developer MachineGames is ready to
push history even further and, this time, mid1960s America will never be the same.
When players last saw William "B.J." Blazkowicz, he had made every effort to stamp out
the Axis control taking over Europe, including

successfully stealing a U-Boat to keep the Kreisau Circle afloat. After suffering an injury that
seemed impossible to overcome, B.J. is back
and ready to start the second American Revolution against the Germans. The water-bound
haven is precisely where players will jump back
into the world to head to a radically different
version of America. In a scene that offers a
revolutionary way to play a first-person shooter,
B.J. must navigate the now German-occupied
U-Boat in a wheelchair. Conveyor belts and trip
wires will help B.J. find his way out while picking
off any enemy in his way with his free hand.
MachineGames began the new adventure in
this creative way to carry over the unique perspective into mechanics seen later in the game,
such as the new stilts and wall-breaker abilities.
