About This Game

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a brand-new co-op experience from MachineGames, the award-winning studio that developed the critically acclaimed Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Set in 1980, 19 years after BJ Blazkowicz ignited the second American Revolution, Wolfenstein: Youngblood introduces the next Blazkowicz generation to the fight against the Nazis. Play as one of BJ’s twin daughters, Jess and Soph, as you search for your missing father in Nazi-occupied Paris.

Story

A spin-off in the alternate-history Wolfenstein series, Youngblood is set in 1980, nineteen years after the liberation of America from Nazi rule. Though the United States has been freed, the fragile global coalition has crumbled, leaving much of Europe still under the Nazi boot. The legendary resistance hero B.J. Blazkowicz has settled into a quieter life raising his twin teenage daughters, Jessie and Zofia, training them to fight and survive. When Blazkowicz suddenly vanishes without a trace, the sisters discover clues in a hidden attic room pointing to Nazi-occupied Paris, where he had gone...
