Do Nazis like strawberry milkshakes?

Yes, they do. Yes, they do.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus has some big shoes to fill. Its predecessor made a lot of noise by playing with an alternate history setting, giving us well-written characters, fantastic visuals, and some pretty good shooting.

But there was also something intangible in the game that was more than the sum of its parts. An element of world building that some might think was superfluous, but which made the whole “adventure” more relatable and engaging. Take a look at this video:

Ok, we get it, you like milkshakes. It’s a scene that sets the story and setting up nicely. With the diner being too American and the people wanting to suck up to the Nazis, but also afraid of them as hell. And the casual nature of the oppressor just strolling in for a milkshake.

The game will be out on October 27 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
