1	* ActorAllusion:
2	** B.J. Blazkowicz (Creator/BrianBloom) is, rather appropriately, [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes Captain America.]] Wyatt even calls him "Cap"!
3	** In the Japanese dub, it's not [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} the first time]] we've heard Creator/JojiNakata (B.J. Blazkowicz) [[{{Ghostapo}} killing over-powered Nazis]] with lots of [[MoreDakka dakka]].
4	* MultiDiscWork: The Xbox 360 version came on a whopping ''four discs''.
5	* TheOtherDarrin: All of the cast have switched voice actors once again.
6	** B.J., as above, goes from Peter Jessop to Brian Bloom.
7	** Caroline Becker switched from Anna Graves to Creator/BonitaFriedericy.
8	** Deathshead goes from Creator/RobinAtkinDownes to both Creator/DwightSchultz for English dialogue and Kaspar Eichel for lines spoken in German.
9	* PreviewPiggybacking: Pre-ordered copies of the game came with beta codes for ''VideoGame/Doom2016''.
10	* PromotedFanboy: [=MachineGames=], in addition to being a studio made of folks who made games like the ''[[Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick Riddick]]'' [[VideoGame/EscapeFromButcherBay Ga]][[VideoGame/AssaultOnDarkAthena mes]] and ''VideoGame/TheDarkness'', are also big fans of the original ''Wolfenstein'' franchise. According to this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubeYrE76phQ video]] by Creator/RoosterTeeth, they had planned out the whole game (possibly an entire planned trilogy) before they even got the green-light from Bethesda, with iD Software giving advice such as implementing dual wielding and making the guns bigger.
11	* SequelGap: The shortest that still counts for the trope in the series, at five years from ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein2009'' to this game in 2014, after which the "tradition" was broken, with [=MachineGames=] being able to make ''several'' games in the series within reasonable time frames of one another.
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** [=MachineGames=] were originally planning to make an entirely original game, but their pitches were rejected. After [=ZeniMax=] acquired id Software, [=MachineGames=]' owner, Bethesda, suggested [=MachineGames=] create something based on a property they owned; when they asked about ''Wolfenstein'' and were told that nothing was being done with it, they decided to make a new game in that series, recycling what ideas they could from their original project for it.
14	** BJ's facial appearance went through at least one revision, as seen in [[https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ximQRBeE--/rvideofk1u4k1v5aukg4.png this image]], with his unused appearance bearing a resemblance to his ''VideoGame/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein'' face model.
15	** Enemy soldiers were planned to be present in the moonbase's exterior areas, but problems making their AI work correctly in a low-gravity environment and a lack of time to fix the issues forced the developers to cut them out and stick with the flying robotic drones.
