Story[]
After the events of Spear Resurrection, the Spear of Destiny was thrown into the ocean, presumably never to be seen again. The Nazis, however, have recovered the Spear and taken it to their last stronghold - a large estate somewhere in Spain, complete with a heavily guarded mansion. Unlike in its prequel, Spear Resurrection, the Nazis do not seem to plan the resurrection of Adolf Hitler, and it is unclear what are their plans regarding to the Spear.
B.J. Blazkowicz travels to the Nazi-occupied estate, with the intent of putting an end to their meddling with the holy relic, which is in possession of Heinrich Haufmann, a leftover high-ranking Nazi officer from the Third Reich. To obtain the Spear, B.J. must defeat a variety of well-known and new enemies: the Superclone makes a return from Spear Resurrection, as well as a new and formidable companion, the Ultraclone, which is capable of reanimating itself upon destruction. Cybronic killing machines named Cybertroopers will also make an appearance several times, as well as Heinrich Haufmann's right-hand man, Otto von Thugg.
