[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.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
