No Plans to Bring ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ to the Switch (Yet)
With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus set to hit the Nintendo Switch later this week, the question that some people have been is asking still remains unanswered: What about the first game? Well, according to Panic Button’s Adam Creighton, the people behind the port for Wolfenstein II and DOOM, it’s unfortunately not in the cards at the moment.
Speaking to GameSpot, Creighton puts the ball in Bethesda’s court when it comes to bringing Wolfenstein: The New Order, or it’s standalone prequel, The Old Blood, to Nintendo’s console. “It’s [up to] them and Nintendo as to what would work for the platform,” Creighton said. “I think it’ll be interesting to see how [The New Colossus is] received right after it launches at the end of the month and what Bethesda does from there.”
That being said, Creighton states that Panic Button are “totally up for anything” should Bethesda have any plans to bring those two games to the Switch. Creighton also confirmed that The New Colossus will not ship to the Switch with any of the existing DLC, saying “Bethesda is going to look at what the reaction is in the market, what people want.”
It’s not all bad news at this time, however. In case you’ve been under a rock, Steam is having it’s annual “taking your money” Summer Sale, where you can grab The Old Blood and The New Order in a two-pack with a nice 50% discount until July 5th.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus hits the Nintendo Switch June 29th.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
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.”
