Wolfenstein: Youngblood's co-op won't change the experience

Wolfenstein: Youngblood was revealed at E3 earlier this year to much excitement from fans of the previous Wolfenstein games. The game follows BJ Blazkowicz's twin daughters and is set in Paris in the 1980s, but unlike previous games, you can play this one co-op with a friend, each taking on the role of one of the twins. If you choose to play the game alone though, the other twin will be controlled by an AI, and so the experience doesn't differ dramatically from the co-op experience.

VG247 recently spoke to Pete Hines, SVP of global marketing at Bethesda, at QuakeCon to discuss the upcoming game, asking him about the additon of co-op in the game, to which he said:

"In the case of Wolfenstein, it was: 'Well, we want to do this thing where you get to play as one of BJ's twin daughters'. We were like, 'What's the other one doing?'. They were like, 'Nothing, or maybe they can be an AI companion'. 'Well, if she's an AI companion, could you let somebody else play the other one?'."

"It's co-op, but it's kind of the same game, because if somebody's not playing with you it doesn't feel dramatically different. She's still there, whether it's an AI or a person. It doesn't change the experience wholesale. It's not like it's Skyrim and all of a sudden some dude turns up. Ultimately, as with all things, we're interested in what our devs think."

Are you going to play Youngblood solo or co-op?
