Uncovering Wolfenstein 2‘s Secret Ending Mission and Cinematic

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus rewards dedicated players who complete optional side missions with a secret final level and alternate ending cinematic. This hidden content, unlocked by collecting Death Cards in assassination missions, provides a climactic final battle and stronger closure to the game‘s narrative.

A Hard-Won Reward for Completionists

The secret mission titled "Riverside" and ending scene are locked behind challenging prerequisites:

  • Players must complete all 8 of the optional ubercommander assassination missions
  • 15 out of 16 collectible Death Cards must be obtained

With most players finishing around 16 story missions, this post-game content can provide an additional 5 hours of objectives. As a fan of completing all possible content, I found great satisfaction in earning this secret finale.

An Epic Final Level: Riverside

Riverside throws players into a whole new bombed-out district filled with concrete Nazi bunkers and flamethrower-wielding SS troops. The imposing architecture fills an expansive new environment to fight within.

The level builds tension towards a confrontation with General Winkler, who wears a heavy mech suit armed with rockets and flamethrowers. Defeating him is a thrilling endcap on the difficult road to uncovering this hidden mission.

A More Definitive Sense of Closure

The secret cinematic shows the Resistance annihilating the last vestiges of Nazi control across America:

  • Swastikas are destroyed in front of historical monuments
  • Washington has been liberated by the resistance army
  • The Stars and Stripes replace Nazi banners

As a narrative fan, this alternate ending provides welcome closure regarding the Nazis‘ defeat and America‘s liberation.

A Special Reward for Maxing Out Wolfenstein 2

As someone who takes pride in fully completing titles I love, this secret content felt like a special recognition of my deeper investment into Wolfenstein 2‘s world.

The dramatic final battle and cinematic reaffirmed that my completionist playstyle uncovers the most rewarding surprises that more casual fans miss out on.

For those gamers looking to experience all Wolfenstein 2 has to offer, its secret ending provides handcrafted content worth the effort of awakening.
