Don’t Panic!
Panic Button, the developers behind the excellent DOOM port to Switch, will be helming the upcoming Wolfesntein II port to the same console. Bethesda revealed this news to 🉐 today along🍰 with mentioning the port will be out in early 2018.
Machine Games’ senior game designer, Andreas Öjerfors, stated, “they’re [Panic Button] experts at the Switch and now they’re experts with the [id Tech 6] engine so we work with them, and the Doom version turned out to be really kick-ass on the Switch so I think Wolfenstein will be the same.”
While I wasn’t exactly fond of the 30 FPS cap, having DOOM playable on a portable device was a real treat. I never expected to see that kind of technology squeezed down in such a short time frame and without even compromising the level design. We’ve come a long way from the old, crappy PS2 ports of Xbox exclusive games (I’m looking at you Splinter Cell).
