Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a 2017 action-adventure and first-person shooter game developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks. The seventh main entry in the Wolfenstein series and the sequel to 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, the game is set in an alternate history that takes place in 1961, following the Nazi victory in the Second World War. The story follows war veteran William "B.J." Blazkowicz and his efforts to fight against the Nazi regime in the United States. Gameplay mechanics are largely similar to those of The New Order, though the team introduced improvements such as allowing players to dual-wield any combination of weapons in the game. A binary choice in the prologue alters the game's entire storyline; some characters and small plot points are replaced throughout the timelines.

Horton Boone: (Gets out cups and a bottle of Whiskey) You know my ma always said "Never trust a man can't handle his whiskey".
(Pours BJ some whiskey)
Horton Boone: So you sit right down, Terror-Billy and drink up.
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: (Drinks the Whiskey) What in the world of fuck is this shit?
Horton Boone: Ol' Horton's Special.
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: God Damn.
Horton Boone: Now, listen Terror-Billy. I respect your ambition. But there's nothing can be done no more. The world is sank into the crapper and all we can do this drink this Whiskey and watch the vortex suck it all down.
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: Didn't expect your belly to be quite so yellow.
Horton Boone: We've been a-fightin' for a revolution since long before the Nazis came here. We were the first to start building a civil right movement to advocate equality for everyone. You know the concept of civil rights Terror-Billy? No you don't, you're just a jar-head ain't ya'?
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: Buddy. I've laid my life in the line for Freedom, Justice and the American way while you and your "Bohemian" friends were passing out Bolshevik Propaganda and avoiding the draft on every street corner. What good is your fuckin' "equality"? You can't muster the back bone to stick up for your people, while the Coyote is scratching at your front door.
Horton Boone: (Stands up while upset) We stood up against the imperialist war machine of the United States of America, and the greedy money men of Wall Street who was *itchin'* to send the children of the Proletariat off to die in foreign lands so they could be fillin' their coffers! It weren't their sons bleeding on the beaches! No, they draftin' people like ye for the dirty work while they's watchin' the dollars roll in. Yer the pawn, the patsy of cantankerous men in marble mansions. While I seed through that shit, decided not to be party to it.
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: And yet, here you are. Guns in hand, shooting Nazis, just like me. Difference is you come late to the party. Perhaps your kind gotten your asses in gear, we would've won the war!
Jacques 'Paris Jack' LeRoy: (Seeing Horton pour another cup of Whiskey) Don't spill that shit on the table Hoton, it'll eat right through it.
Horton Boone: This'll get ye, drunk Terror-Billy. Ye upstanding of the establishment ye.
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: Listen pal, I ain't got time for your horseshit. You gotta make the call. Give up and die or step the fuck up.
Horton Boone: (Hands him another cup of Whiskey) Ain't wantin' to argue with you Terror-Billy. I'm too tired to fight.
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: You tired? Man, fuck you.
(Kicks his chair)
William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz: I've got kids on the way, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna raise 'em in a world run by these Nazi assholes! What's it gonna be, you hillbilly, degenerate moonshiner, Bolshevik cowards, gaddamn traitors.
(BJ then drinks the cup of Whiskey and passes out, and Horton then raises his arms and grins)
  • Despite the high age rating, Wolfenstein II will be one of the first mature titles to be released for Nintendo Switch in 2018.
  • In the final cutscene, Blazkowicz, upon killing Frau Engel, says: "If that's your best, your best won't do." Later in the same scene, Private Wyatt addresses the American public and urges them to tell their oppressors "We don't want nothin', not a thing from you." These two phrases echo the lyrics of the song "We're Not Gonna Take It," which plays during the credits.
