Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s Estimated Game Length Revealed
During Bethesda’s E3 2019 presentation we got a good look at the upcoming first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Though this year’s E3 may have ended, news about the convention’s biggest games continues to trickle out. One such piece of information is the length of the Wolfenstein spin-off.
Machine Games’ executive producer Jerk Gustafsson sat down with GamesBeat to talk about Wolfenstein: Youngblood and discussed the new characters–BJ Blazkowicz’s twin daughters, Jess and Soph–the game’s length, and more.
GamesBeat asked Gustafsson just how long Wolfenstein: Youngblood is, to which Gustafsson said the game is the studio’s “biggest game yet, but it’s a pretty short production time.” Gustafsson said, “I think we’re looking at at least 25 to 30 hours if you play through everything.” He added that the “level progression and the non-linear narrative” makes the game longer than their previous titles. Game length statistic site How Long To Beat reports that Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus both have main storylines that take approximately 11 hours to finish.
GamesBeat also asked how Machine Games settled on two-player co-op. Gustafsson said, “We know that Anya [Blazkowicz’s wife] was pregnant with twins. It made sense to do something fresh and new in the ’80s when the twins were older. We also wanted to do a story about growing up and the transition between adolescence and adulthood. Those were the main reasons for going with the two characters.”
Wolfenstein: Youngblood launches on July 26 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Cyberpunk 2077’s Behind-Closed-Door E3 Demo To Be Public Soon
Cyberpunk 2077 had an impressive showing on Microsoft’s stage during E3 2019, where we learned lots of information–like the role Keanu Reeves plays–and saw lots of exciting gameplay. That gameplay may have been restricted to a behind-closed-doors event on the show floor, but Polish developers CD Projekt Red announced that we’ll all get to see it this August.
In replying to a tweet from Wushu Studios’ community manager, CD Projekt Red’s global community lead Marcin Momot said Cyberpunk 2077’s extended gameplay demo will be public during this year’s PAX West, which takes place in the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle between August 29 and September 2. Momot said, “It’s going to happen exactly during PAX West.”
In other Cyberpunk news, we’ve learned that the sci-fi, first-person shooter will have multiple endings. In an interview with YongYea during this year’s E3, quest director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz simply confirmed that, like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before it, Cyberpunk 2077 will have more than one ending. How many remains to be seen, as Tomaszkiewicz didn’t quantify “multiple.” However, Tomaszkiewicz also said that all other augmentations–aside from the two assigned during the Prologue–are completely optional and that there is currently no level cap set for the game.
We’re getting ever closer to the release of Cyberpunk 2077, as CD Projekt Red founder Marcin Iwinski confirmed that the game has entered the polishing stage of development. Cyberpunk 2077 launches on April 16, 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Pokemon: Last Chance For A Free Shiny Pikachu / Eevee In Let’s Go
Last month, The Pokemon Company began distributing a free Shiny Pikachu and Eevee for the Let’s Go games on Nintendo Switch. If you’ve yet to claim one, however, your time to do so is running out. The distribution is set to end this Sunday, June 23, making this your last opportunity to add the free Shiny Pokemon to your collection.
To claim the Pokemon, you’ll first need to download the free Pokemon Pass app on your smartphone. You can grab it from Google Play or the App Store. Once the app has been installed, you’ll need to visit a participating Target store, then find a sign with a QR code for the free Pokemon in the toy aisle. Scan the code using the Pokemon Pass app and you’ll receive a serial code that you can then input in the Let’s Go games.
The Pokemon you’ll receive will be the opposite of the version you own, so you’ll get a Shiny Eevee in Let’s Go Pikachu, and a Shiny Pikachu in Let’s Go Eevee. Each Pokemon comes at level 10 and knows the following movesets:
Pikachu
- Thunderbolt
- Double Kick
- Double Team
- Thunder
Eevee
- Double-Edge
- Iron Tail
- Helping Hand
- Facade
Once you’ve gotten a serial code from Target, fire up your copy of Let’s Go and select the Mystery Gift option from the game’s main menu. Choose the option to receive your gift with a code/password, then the serial code and the free Pikachu or Eevee will be downloaded into your game. You can find step-by-step directions in our guide on how to get your free Shiny Pikachu or Eevee.
Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee are available now on Nintendo Switch, but those aren’t the only Pokemon RPGs coming to the console. A new pair of Pokemon games, Pokemon Sword and Shield, are set to launch on the system on November 15. We learned a lot more details about the titles at E3 2019; we got our first look at their new Dynamax mechanic and learned how Max Raid Battles work. You can read more about the games in our Pokemon Sword and Shield pre-order guide.
