Action-adventure, first-person shooter video game "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Oct. 27. The sequel will have players hop back into the shoes of agent William "B.J." Blazkowicz and return to alternate, Nazi-occupied America, focusing on the small town of Isenstadt after the Nazi's have declared Martial Law.

Those who pre-ordered "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus," which was developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda, will have access to the Freedom Chronicles Seasons downloadable content (DLC) that offers three new freedom fighters: an assassin, a baseball player, and an army Captain.

On its official website, Bethesda gave a sneak peek into the new DLC packs.

The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe DLC is set in Chicago and features Stallion Joe, a former quarterback-turned-Nazi fighter. The Diaries of Agent Silent Death, on the other hand, takes place in California and it focuses on ex-OSS agent and assassin Jessica Valiant, who will be featured sneaking into Nazi bunkers. Lastly, The Amazing Deeds of Captain Wilkins has Alaska as its backdrop and is about Army Hero Captain Gerald and his quest to dismantle Operation Black Sun. 

Aside from the abovementioned DLCs, fans can obtain other goodies if they choose to purchase the collector's edition of "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus." Alongside the game, players will receive a 1/6 scale "BJ" Blazkowicz action figure that comes with four different guns, a hatchet, BJ's signature outfit, and an extra bomber jacket for more fashion options.

Bethesda also announced that "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" will feature 11 new ways to kill Nazis. Some of these include dual wielding and shooting them with two different guns at the same time, dismembering them with a trusty hatchet, burning them with flame-throwing mechanical dogs, and much more.

"Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" was developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda.
