New Wolfenstein II DLC Lets Players Tackle Nazis, No BJ Though

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus proved to be a surprising FPS game thanks to its excellent gameplay mechanics and several heart-warming moments. In the new downloadable content for the game, players can come back and bust Nazi heads again, but not as of BJ Blazkowicz. Instead, they take on the role of “Gunslinger” Joe Stallion, a professional quarterback who can tackle enemies to oblivion.

As Kotaku notes, one of the best things about Wolfenstein II is the veritable list of likable characters. From the protagonist BJ, who had a soft and warm side to him despite his soldier persona, to the many side-characters who had actual personalities, the game was built on people that players could invest in.

With the new DLC, gamers will get “The Ballad of Gunslinger Joe,” which is part of the “The Freedom Chronicles” as Episode One. In the content, Joe is basically taken to be used in an experiment. Fortunately, he escapes and proceeds to rain down reckoning on the Nazis.

The goal this time is to hunt down Ubercommander Roderick Metze, who is about as stereotypically Nazi as one can get. Along the way, the story keeps to many of the touching themes that made the main mission so unique, including the meaning of family.

Gameplay is still largely the same, but since Joe is an American Football player, there is significantly more tackling involved. Indeed, tackling is such a big part of the DLC that the character can actually bust through walls by running at them thanks to his ability called Ram Shackle. With that kind of momentum, crashing at Nazis would obviously result in instant death.

The DLC is available for download right now and will cost $10, Gamespot reports. Players could also simply get the Season Pass for Wolfenstein II, which costs $25 and will come with two other DLCs that are still being prepared.
