‘Wolfenstein II’ Switch Boxart Revealed, Requires Download to Play

Published

on

With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus set to hit the Nintendo Switch later this year, Bethesda has not only released the boxart for the game, but has also revealed that you’ll be needing a bit of free space on your Switch in order to play.

As with a number of other Switch games, the boxart reveals that the art features a bar at the top of the box that warns the game requires a download in order to play. There’s no specific amount of free space stated, but the bar does state that you might need a micro SD card. Wolfenstein II isn’t unique to requiring space on the Switch in order to play, as games like L.A. Noire also require space on the console.

Interestingly enough, the folks handling the port, Panic Button, also did the port for Bethesda’s other big title announced for the Switch in DOOM. The retail version of DOOM fit on a standard Switch cartridge (which clocks in at around 32GB), but still required around 13.2 GB of additional downloading in order to play. By comparison, the PC version of DOOM needed a beefier 77GB of space.

Wolfenstein II‘s release date for the Switch still hasn’t been announced, but with E3 around the corner, that seems like a perfect place to make the announcement.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
