[E3 2017] ‘Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus’ Confirmed!
In what is probably one of the worst-kept secrets at this year’s E3, Amazon Germany just basically confirmed the existence of Bethesda’s Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
It seems that some users browsing the online store caught a glimpse of the listing for the game before it was hastily taken down.
In spite of this, Bethesda had been dropping hints that the game was going to be at E3 this year, and had even done it last year during the Quake Champions reveal. Heck, even Brian Bloom, the actor for B.J. Blackowicz, teased the game in an interview with Two Left Sticks.
Of course, this will all be confirmed tonight at 9pm PT when Bethesda takes the floor. Get ready for more Nazi bashing.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
