(1/22/18) – Bethesda announced today via Twitter that they are partnering with game studio Panic Button (DOOM, Rocket League ports) to bring their most recent title, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to the Nintendo Switch. The initial port announcement was made around 4 months ago, but the “who” and “when” was not clear at the time.

Panic Button confirmed the announcement, saying they are excited to be working with Bethesda and Machine Games.
