The New Colossus’ appreciation for motherhood feels so refreshing alongside contemporary first-person shooters that typically prize masculinity and militaristic fraternity. And so, tasked with saving the world, it’s strong women and mothers that BJ turns to. Her tragic and early death left an indelible impression on B.J. The Jewish-born Zofia Blazkowicz held together the fragile Blazkowicz family, protecting BJ from an abusive father who would betray her to the Nazis. When Grace’s partner is killed in the crossfire of a botched mission, she can’t waste time grieving: between saving the world and raising a child, she’s simply too busy.Īll of these relationships are filtered through B.J.’s eyes, and thus through his relationship with his own mother. With one hand, she doles out orders on how to infiltrate key Nazi bases with the other, she shushes anyone who dares wake her sleeping baby. She’s whip-smart, confident and unshakeable. Blazkowicz, the man on the cover of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, a protagonist with bursting muscles and a growling voice who, in any other game, would be. There’s also Grace Walker, the leader of the resistance force. The mother-to-be still has urges she wants satisfied. Although her role has shifted in The New Colossus, Anya’s brazen sexuality hasn’t gone anywhere. But in that game, she played his love interest, and she wasn’t shy about her desires, sexual and otherwise. In The New Order, Anya was just as key a figure in B.J.’s journey. BJ rests his head on Anya’s pregnant stomach as they reunite.
