A Look At the Nazi-Free Version of ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’

In case you’re unfamiliar with the game, Wolfenstein: The New Order features lots of Nazis. Nazi flags, Nazis blowing stuff up, Nazis wearing Nazi arm bands, etc. They’re all over the game, and when BJ Blazkowicz is through with them, they’re literally all over the place — a Nazi giblet here, a newly severed Nazi limb there. For most of the Nazi-hating world, this isn’t a problem, but Germany is still a wee bit sensitive to the whole thing.

For a Nazi-heavy game like The New Order, the fact that it’s illegal in Germany to display symbols of “unconstitutional organizations” — a category in which Nazis would most definitely be filed under — could become a problem. So in order to get the game approved for a release in Germany, developer MachineGames had to go through and make a few changes first.

This before-and-after video from Eurogamer shows off the level of censorship the Nazis endured before the lovely folks in Germany could enjoy it.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is available everywhere — including Germany! — for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
