Wolfenstein: Youngblood Uses the Buddy System to Fight Nazis

This article is over 5 years old and may contain outdated information

Wolfenstein: Youngblood understands that the best way to kill Nazis is with a friend. The cooperative successor to Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is being cooperatively developed by Machine Games and Arkane Studios and features the sisters Jessica and Sophia Blazkowicz as protagonists rather than their father, the Nazi-destroying series mainstay B.J. Blazkowicz. The goal of the game is to start a revolution in alternate reality Nazi-occupied 1980s Paris either solo or with your BFF via online coop. Gameplay can be watched in a brand new trailer below.

Wolfenstein: Youngbloodā€™s cooperative element is especially powerful in the gameā€™s deluxe edition, which includes a Buddy Pass that lets a friend play along even if they donā€™t own their own copy of Ā the game. The Buddy Pass can only be shared with one friend at a time, but can be reused as many times as you want.

Iā€™m not necessarily sold on the Buddy Pass concept. I like the idea of a coop test run for a friend whoā€™s iffy on purchasing Youngblood, but I would have preferred it to exist in the main game rather than being exclusive to the deluxe edition. Still, Iā€™ll be amused if some players use the question of who gets a Buddy Pass as a good barometer for their friendships.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be blasting Nazis on July 26, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The standard edition is $29.99 while the deluxe edition is $39.99.
