Thanks to a listing on the Nintendo eShop, we have new details on the file size and a trial version for Wolfenstein Youngblood.
With Wolfenstein Youngblood launching this week, we have some new details on the game. According to the listing on the Nintendo eShop, we have an idea of its file size and of a trial edition.
As it’s listed on the game’s eShop page, Wolfenstein Youngblood will take up 20.6GBs. With the Switch only having 32Gbs of internal storage, it’s safe to say you should get a micro SD card just in case. With Bethesda providing download codes in the physical Switch copies, this news doesn’t come as much of a surprise. For context, the Switch versions of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and DOOM both took up 21.9GBs of storage.
Additionally, a free trial version of the game is up on the eShop as well. Rather than being a traditional demo, this version is for people that play the game thanks to the Buddy Pass provided with the Deluxe Edition. The Buddy Pass lets the buyer invite a friend who doesn’t have the game to experience it.
Recently, it had been announced that Wolfenstein Youngblood will have over 30 hours of content to play.
For PC players, the game won’t feature ray tracing at launch. Additionally, Jerk Gustafsson, the game’s executive producer, described the Switch version as «a miracle» and it’s all thanks to developer Panic Button.
Wolfenstein Youngblood launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on July 26. The game’s deluxe edition includes the Buddy Pass alongside the Cyborg Skin Pack. Wolfenstein Youngblood is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.

Wolfenstein Youngblood review: In my day, we called this an expansion pack
Not your friend, buddy —
Not quite a sequel and not a challenger to most co-op games, but still quite fun.

Bethesda
Five years ago, the Wolfenstein game series enjoyed a triumphant return as a back-to-basics excuse to virtually slaughter hundreds of mechanized Nazis. Its 2017 sequel was fine enough but failed to turn any gears in terms of gameplay evolution. And now we have another game in the series, which lands in curious fashion—with little promotion or buzz, without a «sequel» designation, and sold at the atypically low new-game price of $29.99.
Though it’s being sold as a standalone game, this week’s Wolfenstein Youngblood makes more sense when described as an expansion pack—albeit one that doesn’t require owning the last game, which might be a point in its favor. The 2017 sequel’s assets have been recycled and reshuffled to bring us a new adventure full of enemies, weapons, abilities, and geometry chunks we’ve seen before.
This time, those assets are born anew as a co-op campaign (which can be played alone, in a pinch).
Honestly, it’s a solid idea on developer MachineGames’ part. If you gobbled up Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, then you can enjoy another heaping helping of the series’ no-nonsense combat, weighing in at roughly 20 hours. If you skipped that sequel, you can expect the co-op twist to provide just enough new stuff to make it a worthwhile romp, alone or with a friend. In either case, this new entry builds upon the best level-design qualities of the 2017 game to make it an intriguing alternative to modern co-op shooters.
Just be warned: there isn’t much «young» about Youngblood, and it certainly doesn’t have enough new or interesting ideas to unseat the co-op shooter likes of Destiny 2. But there sure is a lot of «blood»—and for a certain breed of shooting fan, that might be enough.
Soph’s choice
It’s the early 1980s, and series hero BJ Blazkowicz has returned to his Texas farm to raise twin butt-kicking daughters.
Shortly after we see Jess and Soph’s militaristic training—courtesy of mom and dad—we learn that BJ has vanished without telling either his family or the American feds where he’s gone. The twins secretly discover his mission: to wipe out Nazi forces in Paris. (For the uninitiated, Hitler’s Nazis are still an entrenched force in MachineGames’ version of the ’80s, even though BJ killed Hitler in a previous game.)

One covert flight to France later, the 18-year-old twins suit up in search of their missing dad—and are eager to kill any Nazis in their way.
While Youngblood‘s first mission repeats the cramped-corridor annoyances that plagued too much of W2:TNC, the new game quickly broadens its level design to beautiful, wide-open cities. And that’s good—not only because W2‘s most fun levels emphasized open-air bombast but also because Youngblood is at its best when two players have multiple angles and vantage points to split up.
You and a friend can expect to divide a given battle arena up by flanking points, by a variety of tunnels, or by varying heights, then rotate and react accordingly from there once the fireworks begin.
If you and your co-op gaming pal have missed the past five years of the rebooted Wolfenstein series, you’re in for an action-packed treat. Like its predecessor, the game is built on the idTech 6 Engine, which means it’s still good-looking and runs efficiently on a range of consoles and PC hardware. You’ll enjoy no less than a 60fps refresh (unless you’re on Nintendo Switch) while juggling super-charged versions of every standard military-shooter weapon under the sun. Use your lightning-spewing «lasergewehr» gun to make robot foes explode, shatter, and sparkle; then use your machine-reloading shotgun to make human foes crumble, gib, and splatter. Dramatic lighting and particle effects are drizzled over every blast- and laser-filled battle, and the results will likely keep you tapping your dedicated «screen shot» button.
For the most part, MachineGames and Arkane Studios (who teamed up on this semi-sequel’s development) have leaned into the best ideas from W2:TNC to make sure every multiplayer fight includes a delectable variety of combat zones, often chained together in a «semi-open world» format. Extravagant multi-story buildings fill out much of this game, all full of natural cover points and reasons to run down stairs or jump to higher positions. Plus, it’s easy to see the Arkane influence in a few of the more ornate levels, which have all the same verticality-filled trappings of Arkane’s Dishonored games.
The worst I can say about a few of these levels is that they might be too massive; I had a few moments during pre-release testing where my teammate and I lost track of each other in the course of a battle. I’d hardly call that a «complaint.»
Pep in your step
-
Here, my AI co-op partner was too busy laying down machine gun rounds to revive me. (A timer is indicated by the solid line near the top of the screen. When that runs out, one of the team’s «lives» must be spent.

More on the game’s shared-lives system.
-
What you can’t see in this shot of the opening mission is an array of crawl spaces and outdoor balconies, which both players can take advantage of to get into position.
-
You can climb onto pretty much any geometry you see. So, yes, those light fixtures become a means for sneaking up on enemies from above.
-
I wasn’t able to get a good screenshot of the «after» of this moment.
If your squad has torn through its fair share of Wolfenstein games before, the sales pitch is a bit tougher. Youngblood has done little to ramp up the game’s enemy variety—let alone its AI—while boss battles revolve around simple, repetitive patterns and sky-high hit-point counts. (Honestly, this new game’s boss qualities feel ripped from the worst parts of Destiny 1.) There’s also the matter of many zones recycling a lot of the same visual touches, and often I felt like I was battling through generic, Nazi-occupied Euro-wherever.

Beyond the first-blush fun of trying a new gameplay experience, what exactly does a friend add to the Wolfenstein experience? In terms of mechanics, I’m sad to say that it’s all rote stuff. Should either twin sister run out of health and keel over, the surviving sibling can rush to their teammate and then hold a button for two seconds to bring them back to their feet with a sliver of health.
Fail to manually revive a teammate this way and you’ll have to burn through your squad’s shared pool of «lives» to keep the fight going.
Each sister can equip a single rechargeable «pep talk» ability. When used, this gives both players some kind of temporary boost (health, armor, weapon damage). You can eventually unlock a variety of pep talk options (with only one equipped at a time), and working out an ideal combo with a squadmate is imperative to survive tougher difficulties.
In Youngblood‘s new level-up system, you can dump experience points and coins into various stat categories, but these don’t afford divergent gameplay styles. Honestly, the only notable strategy choice I found boils down to stealth or sheer power. The problem is that if either player sets off an alarm or catches a guard’s attention, both players’ covers are blown. Thus, you’ll want to carefully coordinate with a friend if you have stealth on your mind.
That’s it for major co-op options and abilities.
Did you expect some sort of mega-‘splosion blood frenzy where one player controlled a super-robot’s legs and the other player swung its massive, murdering arms all over the place? That sure sounds like the robo-Nazi chaos we’ve come to love from MachineGames’ shooter series.
But Youngblood feels most like a glorified expansion pack when boiled down to its underwhelming co-op tricks. That feeling only grows more intense when I think of the much more specialized skill trees found in the likes of Destiny 2 and Warframe. Youngblood, in comparison, only has one «class» to speak of, and it’s the equivalent of an MMO’s «ranged DPS» category. Dish out tons of damage, all while constantly moving, because your pep talk abilities simply aren’t strong enough to qualify as either «tank» or «healer» material.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a first-person shooter, the continuation of a series of games about the legendary fighter against the Nazis and their power, BJ Blaskowitz.
But now you are waiting for not just the fight against Nazism, but something more …
The plot now revolves not around BJ, but around his children, daughters named Jess and Sophie, who managed to survive and grow up in a harsh new world. For a long time they did not want to follow in the footsteps of their father, but after his disappearance in Paris, they decided to take the path of war and find him at all costs. From this moment, the main adventures begin …
But first of all, it would be worth saying that this time for the first time in the history of the series you will be able to play the game not alone, but in cooperative mode, playing as two characters at once. At the same time, in single player mode, the game will have to be played by one of the girls, while the second one will control the AI, according to the developers.
The main changes in terms of gameplay have affected the pumping mechanics. Now, for each of the heroines, special skills and abilities will be available, which adds to the uniqueness of the game for each of the characters.
In addition, it became possible to change the appearance of the characters, which is even cooler.

And on top of that, the developers announced the presence of a huge open world, a wide range of weapons, both modern and futuristic, gadgets that can be used in battles with the Nazis, and special devices. In addition, the shooting mechanics have been completely redesigned.
As for quests, Wolfenstein: Youngblood has a huge number of additional quests and quests that you can complete at any time.
And of course, the graphics have moved to a new level. You are waiting for locations worked out to the smallest detail, detailed environments and realistic, as if living characters. Moreover, even weapon models, and even then, have been carefully redesigned and look many times better.

How the Buddy Pass works, how to pick up heavy weapons and how to find a souvenir from Dishonored — Gambling
Our review of the game will help you decide whether to buy Youngblood or not. And in this short article, we will answer questions that have probably already been asked by those who nevertheless decided to start their journey through the alternative eighties.
How do I connect a friend with a Buddy Pass?
Deluxe Edition owners can play Youngblood with a friend who doesn’t have the game, called the Buddy Pass. However, the game is in no hurry to give instructions. We explain: first, a friend needs to download a demo of the game from the store corresponding to your platform: if you are playing the game on a computer, you will need Steam , if on PlayStation 4 — PS Store (there the demo is called Trial ).
Next, you simply create a game session, select the “use Buddy Pass” option, and an invitation arrives for your friend. Of course, he should have a demo version running at that moment. You also need to have an activated and associated Steam account at Bethesda.net .
How to pick up heavy weapons and ammunition for them?
At the beginning of the walkthrough, you will notice that the choice of guns in the game is rather poor. Pistol, micro SMG, assault rifle, rifle and shotgun — not enough! But when you reach level 20, a perk will open that allows you to take heavy two-handed guns with you — without it, they remain only temporary weapons. Heavy weapons, however, are quite inconvenient to use, since they are stored in one equipment slot (by default, set to number 5). In addition, you won’t find ammo for such guns on the levels — you can replenish your ammunition only by collecting similar types of weapons from enemies.
And the last three trunks will open during the passage of the story, when you complete the Bruder raids.
