Nazis Are Violently Massacred In This Wolfenstein II Launch Trailer

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is launching later this month, and developer Bethesda Softworks unveiled a quite not safe for work launch trailer to commemorate its eventual release (seen above). And boy, is there a lot of Nazi-killing in it.

“They fucked with the wrong country.” “Come and fucking get me, you fascist Nazi pigs.”

Strong words, but in the long-running Wolfenstein series, shooting speaks louder than words. The action and chaos are completely over-the-top, with large and stunning set pieces. And in a post-Charlottesville country, the political overtones are more powerful than ever. A couple of weeks ago, Bethesda created a minor controversy with a tweet promoting the game:

Make America Nazi-Free Again. #NoMoreNazis#Wolf2pic.twitter.com/52OESypw4P

Some expressed concern that the studio was exploiting the political climate for sales, but underneath that “criticism” were actual, butt-hurt Nazis. Apparently, “Make America Nazi-Free Again” is quite an offensive statement to real-life Nazis. Per Newsweek, here are a couple of tweets mocking the uproar.
