Wolfenstein II Switch

With some Switch games in the past, we’ve seen that an extra download is required for their physical versions. L.A. Noire was one example of this. That title needed an additional download, as the full experience wouldn’t fit on an SD card.

Wolfenstein II is another upcoming game that will have the same requirement. Amazon’s product page has an updated boxart image, complete with the warning header we’ve come to know and love. It clearly states that an internet download is required.

Here’s a look at the updated boxart:

On Twitter recently, Bethesda’s Spanish account was asked whether Wolfenstein II on Switch will have the included DLC. The company said in response that it has “nothing to share at the moment”.

Bethesda also commented on its work on Wolfenstein II for Switch in general. Currently the team is “focusing on polishing the base game and optimizing it” to achieve the performance we saw with DOOM.

Bethesda has been supporting Switch much more than any other prior Nintendo platforms. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Doom made it to the system late last year, with Wolfenstein II following sometime in 2018.

In an interview at PAX East, Bethesda Softworks senior VP of marketing Pete Hines was asked quite a bit about Switch. The discussion started with the possibility of bringing other previously-released titles to the platform, to which Hines stated:

Earlier today, Bethesda confirmed that Wolfenstein II will feature optional gyro motion controls on Switch. GameXplain now has another look at the game with the functionality enabled in handheld mode. Watch the footage below.

More footage has emerged from the Switch version of Wolfenstein II. Take a look at 19 minutes of gameplay below.

Back in February, Bethesda and Panic Button updated the Switch version of Doom. One of the highlights was an additional control scheme, allowing players to take advantage of gyro motion aiming.

Wolfenstein II is another first-person shooter Bethesda and Panic Button are bringing to Switch. Fans will be happy to hear that the optional gyro motion aiming will be making a return. Even better, it will be there from the start, so we won’t have to wait for an update to add in the feature.

Here’s the confirmation from Wolfenstein’s Twitter account:
