During Bethesda's mammoth E3 conference, which revealed a couple of Switch goodies in the form of Fallout Shelter and The Elder Scrolls: Legends, a new follow-up to Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was revealed with no specific platforms being mentioned.
The game, called Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a standalone title that puts players in the shoes of series protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz’s twin daughters Jess and Soph. It takes place in 1980s Paris, with the girls continuing their father’s fight against invading Nazis, and is expected to launch next year.
Since the reveal, a photograph taken by a GameStop store employee shows the game listed for Switch, and since then a product listing has even appeared on the website. We've seen several leaks from game stores just recently (including a potentially huge amount of games coming to Switch), and Bethesda even mentioned this during its conference.
Could this be something that is being held back for Nintendo's show later today? It's definitely possible, and considering Wolfenstein II is coming to Switch later this month it would make sense to mention both games together.
Did you see the Bethesda conference? Are you happy with the level of support the publisher is showing to the Switch? Let us know in the comments.

False, don't have nintendo's tax with 10dollars plus from others plataforms.
Worst. Parent. Ever.
Let's hope it's true and that the port will come quicker than with W2.
STOP PUBLISHING LEAKS IN HEADLINES ON E3 DAY
The best way to discover this, if it happens at E3, is at E3. If this is a surprise for later, it’s killed. If it’s not, you lose nothing by publishing tomorrow instead, or keeping the game title in the body of the article and out of the front page.
Leak culture in gaming is a problem. Please, chaps, please be part of the solution.
@Balladeer ...E3 is an ad fest. I'd be more understanding if they spoiled some plot points for a game, but not for a corporate nonsense conference.
I'm sure most people don't care if stuff gets "leaked" or not.
Hype and preorder culture is the problem.
@SmaggTheSmug Defintely agree with you about pre-order culture, and I get that it’s an ad-fest. I think a lot of people (self included) still consider those adverts to be the best and most exciting way to discover a game for the first time though.
I still rather like E3 hype myself. Getting excited is fun!
Day 1 just like I'm doing with 2 in a couple weeks. Love the franchise since machine took over.
Why's it only $30? Only half a game?
@chardir It isn't a main numbered Wolfenstein entry, it is another spin-off like 'Wolfenstein: The Old Blood'. That game had a fairly budget price and ran about 6-8 hours in length.
Switch exclusive? Nah surely not.
Oh man, I hope it's true.
To be fair I am expecting the new doom , and this game come to the switch. May be a month or two later then on the other two consoles , but since doom and wolfenstein got ported to switch these will likely come as well
Is this battle royale version of Wolfenstein?
Is it just me, or is the series turning into a yearly affair? Because Wolfenstein 2 has just been released, and now another one announced? I hate yearly franchises!
