In a recent interview with TwoLeftSticks, actor Brain Bloom who voices the Wolfenstein series protagonist B.J Blazkowicz hinted that a new Wolfenstein game was in the works. The reboot of the Wolfenstein franchise has been met with great success for Bethesda as Wolfenstein: New Order was critically acclaimed worldwide.
There have been rumors of a new Wolfenstein game since Bethesda’s E3 presser in which they teased Wolfenstein game names followed by a mysterious New Colossus name which had no release dates next to it unlike the others. Bloom said “’ll be safe with this answer. If you look at Bethesda’s E3 2016 lineup there was a title hinted at in a cool way. It sparked a bit of wildfire. That subtle, very simple DOS language, going through the titles. Perhaps we’re working on that as we speak.””
While Bloom technically did not actually confirm it, it’s pretty safe to say that it was all but a confirmation of the new game. Wehn asked about what’s next for the character Bloom stated “Whoever B.J. Blaskowicz was, in the content we have so far, he’s the articulation of a promise not kept; a country that surrendered while he was in a coma. He’s fighting a war on his own with a very small group of people, completely outgunned and out-manned. A world taken over by scourge of racism, nazism, and fascism.”
“Anya and their relationship in many ways is B.J. attempting to give redemption to the dream lost. Those ideals that he has that might be idealistic – marriage, children, living in a free world. It’s all part of who he is. Putting my own feelings aside, and giving the audience all room to have their own feelings about this. I think we can agree that his core convictions are related to that kind of loyalty.” said Bloom.
There has been no official confirmation from Bethesda at this point regarding New Colossus. It’s likely that the company will wait until next years E3 to give any and all information on the project.
