вЂњIn the latest Wolfenstein game, we take the player to a lot of different Nazi environments. Read on to learn more from Torvenius, and click any of the images below to open a larger version for closer inspection. They show how much effort went into designing this world and trying to make it cohere with not just the last game but the clashing cultures of Nazi Germany and mid-century America and the larger implications of the gameвЂ™s story.

This gallery includes several pieces of concept art from The New Colossus, with notes from Art Director Axel Torvenius. The alternate history introduced in 2014вЂ™s Wolfenstein: The New Order brought with it an intricate hypothesis of what America might have looked and felt like in 1960 if the Nazis had conquered it during World War II, and that commitment to detail seems likely to resurface in The New Colossus, if the photographs below are any indication. The developers at MachineGames have created some of the most vibrant and lived in environments in videogames, between the last Wolfenstein game and their work at Starbreeze Studios last decade. The main draw of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (which is out this Friday) might be killing Nazis (a classic videogame goal that has somehow become incredibly and disgustingly relevant these days), but thereвЂ™s far more to look forward to than the mere mass murder of racist fascists.
