Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus’ season pass content unlocked earlier this week, giving us access to the first of four episodic adventures that shift us away from B.J. Blazkowicz’s traumatic tale toward something lighter. “Lighter” is admittedly relative when it comes to these pulpy, alternative-WWII scenarios where you’re still killing Nazis, of course. But The Freedom Chronicles is set to be a series of joyously comic book-style adventures, if its premiere, “Episode Zero,” is anything to go by.

Episode Zero functions as a prologue to the larger season pass storyline, which will consist of three more distinct stories. Each will star an original character unseen in The New Colossus’ campaign. There’s Gunslinger Joe, an African-American quarterback with super strength and speed; Jessica Valiant, a.k.a. Agent Silent Death, who’s a badass with an eye-patch and an unbelievable ability to crouch and crawl through tight spaces; and Captain Gerald Wilkins, who is best described as “B.J. Blazkowicz if he were a classic American Hero, but also had stilt legs.”
