Wolfenstein II - Nintendo Switch

Bethesda has a little something special planned for Wolfenstein II on Switch. When the game debuts next month, fans will be able to get their hands on an extra game sleeve with alternate artwork.

Simply visit your local GameStop on the June 29 launch day. If you stop by the store, you can pick up the sleeve without even making a purchase. It’ll be available while supplies last.

When the file size for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was first added to the Switch eShop, it clocked in at 13.7GB. It looks like it’ll actually take up quite a bit more space than that.

Wolfenstein II’s eShop listing has been updated, and now has a notice stating that at least 23GB of free space will be required upon release. It’s unclear why the actual size is still listed at 13.7GB, but be prepared to have another 10GB of space ready.

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:

Panic Button has already worked with Bethesda to bring Doom to Switch. Unsurprisingly, the company has been brought back to help out Wolfenstein II on the console as well.

Senior game designer Andreas Öjerfors confirmed the news to Gamereactor. Öjerfors said that Panic Button is now a Switch expert, and given how Doom turned out, Wolfenstein II should end up being a great experience on Nintendo’s console as well.

MachineGames included a neat Easter egg of sorts in Wolfenstein II. You can actually play a new version of Wolfenstein 3D, a classic shooter that came out in the early ’90s.

Wolfenstein II’s take on the game is “Wolfstone 3D”. You’ll find it located in Club Kreisau as its own arcade cabinet. But in this version, there are a number of differences, such as how you fight Kreisau “terrorists” instead of Nazis. Wolfstone 3D has six levels and a save game system.

Wolfenstein II is strictly a single-player game. Keeping in line with many titles Bethesda publishers, a multiplayer mode is not included.

MachineGames’ narrative designer Tommy Tordsson Björk spoke about the decision to keep Wolfenstein II focused on single-player with GamesIndustry. He told the site that the team merely wanted to create “a really good single-player game”, and forcing multiplayer “would just dilute it all.
