Wolfenstein: The New Order Pre-Orders Get DOOM Beta Access

Wolfenstein: The New Order gets a new BOOM BOOM trailer, release dates, and a tempting pre-order bonus.

Bethesda and MachineGames released a new trailer today for Wolfenstein: The New Order and announced the release dates for latest installment in the classic series. Wolfenstein: The New Order will be available in North America on May 29, with the European release following on May 23. The rather bloody new gameplay trailer introduces us to BJ Blazkowicz, protagonist of later Wolfenstein titles and now a resistance fighter in Nazi-controlled 1960s America. Unlike other Wolfenstein titles, The New Order is strictly a single player first person shooter. Bethesda ruled out any multiplayer modes in June last year. Wolfenstein: The New Order will be available for PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.

Along with the release date and trailer, Bethesda and MachineGames announced a tempting pre-order bonus for Wolfenstein: The New Order. All pre-orders of the game will include an invitation to access the DOOM beta, details of which will come at a later time. More info about the pre-order bonus is available from the official Wolfenstein site. Doom 4 was announced in 2008, but development was restarted in 2011, after ZeniMax Media acquired id Software.

The Escapist previewed Wolfenstein: The New Order at E3 back in June. Joshua Vanderwall described the game as “an unapologetic blood bath”. Wolfenstein: The New Order will have five difficulty settings, with “I Am Death Incarnate” as the hardest. Andreas Ojerfors, Machine Games senior gameplay designer, says, “We want it to be a real, real challenge for people. This is not an easy game.”
