![]() That device went off and is slowly killing the world’s climate somehow. Hitler had some sort of doomsday device attached to him to go off when he died (think Dr.Max Hass played some instrumental role in defeating Hitler and figuring out the God key.goes into a bit of a vague lore breakdown of what happened in the years that took place between The New Colossus and Youngblood. Some key points: He’s fiddling with the God Key, an ancient Da'at Yichud artifact he uncovered in The New Colossus that Set Roth regarded as powerful (but couldn’t explain what it does). It’s only when we reach the end of the game that Youngblood starts doing some heavy lifting for the saga again (briefly, anyway).Īt the conclusion of their journey, Jess and Soph meet B.J. in an underground complex. Most of the writing is dedicated to in-game chat between Abby, Soph, and Jess that draw out their personalities. The main chunk of the game doesn’t flirt with answering narrative questions. The fates of Fergus, Bombate, Sigrun, and Max are never made clear, but the fact that they’re nowhere to be seen or even referenced does not inspire confidence they survived the war. Some off-hand remarks make it clear that Abby (Grace and Super Spesh’s daughter) was his protege for a bit, thus implying that he survived whatever happened before Youngblood long enough to serve as her mentor. B.J. and Anya are raising Jess and Soph in Mesquite, Texas and teaching them how to be efficient Nazi-killers. It’s been around 20 years since the revolution at the end of The New Colossus.That said, the opening does deliver some key bits of information: Youngblood doesn’t actually have that many story beats outside of its introduction and ending. It delivers a lengthy intro before B.J.’s daughters go to Paris to search for him, but the majority of the game fixated on letting you run amuck in Nazi-controlled Paris. To clarify: All the following is speculation, with no information from MachineGames on anything related to Wolfenstein III, but hey, speculation is fun and my conclusions were pretty accurate for The New Colossus the last time I did this. What follows is a spoiler-filled dive on major plot points so if you don’t want to be spoiled on Youngblood's story, now’s the time to turn back. Bethesda eventually clarified that Wolfenstein III is still happening, confirming Youngblood's status as a side chapter to the planned trilogy. So, just what is Youngblood’s ultimate story connection to the mainline entries? Is it an alternate universe? Is it set after the events of Wolfenstein III? Before Wolfenstein II? Maybe it takes place before AND after Wolfenstein III, Godfather Part II-style? With Youngblood finally out today (check out our review here), we actually have specific plot points we can focus on to talk about what Wolfenstein III’s story might end up being. When Wolfenstein: Youngblood was announced at E3 2018, many fans of the series raised their eyebrows at the news that the game would be set in the '80s and star protagonist B.J.’s twin daughters.
