Bethesda is taking a different approach to PAX East this year. Rather than attending the show directly, the company will host a one-day community event called the “Bethesda Gameplay Day” at Laugh Boston.
Various presentations are planned, and a number of games will be playable. This includes Wolfenstein II on Switch, which will make its playable debut.
Bethesda Gameplay Day will take place on Saturday, April 7 between 1:30 and 9:00 PM ET.

Bethesda talks Switch, happy to see people impressed with Doom
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 19 Comments
It may have been completely unexpected, but Bethesda has been one of the biggest third-party publishers on Switch thus far. November saw the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Doom. In 2018, Bethesda will also be bringing The Wolfenstein II to Switch.
Bethesda’s approach to Switch is much different than how it used to look at Nintendo hardware. The company really hasn’t had much on Nintendo platforms since the NES days.
