Today, developer MachineGames and publisher Bethesda released a new Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus video titled “You can’t keep secrets from your brother!.”
Check Out the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus ‘Trust in Brother’ Trailer:
Like previous, similar videos such as the German or Else and the one about Strawberry Milkshake-lovin’ Nazis, this new video styled after older American sitcoms goes a way long in demonstrating the game’s tone and fleshing out what 1960’s Nazi-occupied America would look and feel like.
The video more specifically is a segment from an episode of the fictional “Trust in Brother,” and it shows that even the smallest pleasures come with big risks. As big brother Dale puts it at one point when scolding his younger brother for having his second candy bar of the week: “Good nutrition is a matter of state security.” Dale not only scolds his brother, but warns him that if their father found out he would be off to the Youth Health ministry.
Further setting the tone is the live audience laughing at odd things that makes it feel like the laughter is more coerced or conditioned rather than natural.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is scheduled to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 27th.
