Those who have enjoyed the action-packed first-person shooter "Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus" are in for a treat. Video game developers Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames has just released a roadmap of the brand-new content they plan to launch in the near future. Fans of the game can look forward to three downloadable content (DLC) which will be released from December 2017 to March 2018.

The first of the DLCs, "Episode Zero," was already included as a bonus for those who have pre-ordered the game. According to IGN, those who did not pre-order can still get this one as part of their season pass.

This introductory DLC contains some "hour-long mini-missions," as reported by Gears of Biz. Its primary purpose is to introduce the main characters of the DLCs to follow. There are three of them, each with their unique endgame gadgets.

"The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe" is where it really kicks off. To be released on Dec. 14, this DLC will follow the story of Joseph Stallion.The aforementioned report from IGN states that Stallion is a former NFL quarterback who somehow ends up fighting against the Nazis. With Gunslinger Joe, the DLC will prompt the player to fight back against the "menace from Chicago to space."

Next in the bunch is "The Diaries of Agent Silent Death," to be released onJan. 30. This one would deal more about stealthy, quick-and-silent kill ops, as players will follow the story of a female assassin named Jessica Valiant. Players will control the ex-OSS agent and lead her to "uncover the secrets of Operation San Andreas."

Last but not the least, "The Deeds of Captain Wilkins" will be out in March of next year. Of the three, Wilkins' backstory is the most straightforward. Players will control the actions of Captain Gerard Wilkins, a US Army soldier assigned in Alaska to foil the Nazis' "Operation Black Sun."

The "Wolfenstein 2" Season Pass is available for $25. This includes "Episode Zero" and the three upcoming DLCs. Each can also be bought separately, but the individual price for each one has not yet been announced.
