The Twist

Roughly half-way through Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, jaws are collectively dropped when protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz gets decapitated by villain Frau Engel at the Lincoln Memorial.

However, resistance group the Kreisau Circle manages to recover B.J.'s head and get it to scientist Set Roth, who grafts the head onto a Nazi Super-Soldier's body, putting him back in the fight and stronger than ever before.

The Early Reveal

B.J.'s unexpected death and resurrection are foreshadowed during our first introduction to Set, where he reveals his bizarre cat-monkey hybrid pet Shoshana.

As it turns out, Set took the feline in but soon learned that it was dying of bowel cancer, and so boldly decided to graft its head onto the body of a "braindead" squirrel monkey he came across.

The implications of this experiment aren't immediately obvious to players, but it nevertheless lays the groundwork for B.J. going through a similar experience himself.
