Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Players take on the role of William "B.J." Blazkowicz as he works to take down the Nazis in an alternate history where the Nazis have won World War II - this time in the 1960s. Players will encounter real and machine canines, fights on flying machines, buildings on fire, and multiple instances of eye trauma. Players will see Klan attire and a variety of Nazi unoforms. There are also many instances of ableism, sanism, anti-LGBTQ+ remarks, fat shaming, and drastic surgery measures to preserve life. Multiple flashbacks to B.J.'s childhood show an abusive father, domestic violence, and animal cruelty.
