Read up on the history of Alaska and find a few maps to help you navigate the three Nazi installations you’ll explore in the final DLC for Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. It’s an ugly world out there, and you can learn more about the story and characters populating conquered Anchorage with these hidden readables. There are eight in each level, including a single map.
The notes, e-posts, and newspaper articles reveal tiny tidbits on the state of the alternate-reality US. Taken over by the Third Reich, Captain Wilkins joins old (and new) allies in his quest to destroy the Sun Gun, the latest Nazi superweapon. If you read the notes, you’ll learn about mysterious Nazi spy The Owl, the evil luxury-loving general behind the project, and the state of “modern” alternate reality Anchorage. It’s kind of fun! And there’s an achievement / trophy in the mix.
