Bethesda Games and MachineGames have released a new gameplay video of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus dubbed “Strawberry Milkshake.”

Mmm, the strawberry milkshake. A delicious summer treat so refreshing, it’s considered to be a “favorite American thing” to one particular Nazi Kommandant, who decided to pick one up at a local diner in Roswell, New Mexico. Unfortunately, BJ Blazkowicz just happens to be at that same diner, leading to a very tense encounter.
