Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a single-player first-person shooter set in an alternate 1961 where Nazi Germany won World War II and occupies the United States. Playing as resistance fighter B.J. Blazkowicz, the player fights through Nazi-held America using guns, dual-wielded weapons, energy weapons, and a hatchet. The action is extremely violent and gory: enemies are shot, blown apart, disintegrated, and decapitated with heavy blood and dismemberment. The story is dark and mature, depicting executions, civilian deaths, concentration-camp imagery, racism, and a graphic torture scene. It also contains strong profanity, an on-screen sex scene with partial nudity and explicit sexual dialogue, and on-screen drinking and smoking. There are no online, multiplayer, or purchase features.
The game frames its violence as an armed uprising against a genocidal Nazi regime, positioning the player's brutal killing as justified resistance and the Nazis as clear villains. Its heaviest themes—oppression, racism, and atrocity—are presented seriously to dramatize the horror of the occupation rather than to glorify it, while combat itself is stylized, over-the-top, and empowering.
