Get ready to go back to Wolfenstein this May

We've got a hands-on preview with MachineGame's reboot of the venerable first-person-shooter franchise coming next week. Ahead of that, Bethesda sends word of an official launch date for Wolfenstein: The New Order along with an additional bonus to people who pre-order and pick up the game when it launches in the US on May 20th, 2014, and throughout Europe on May 23rd, 2014. Those who pre-order Wolfenstein: The New Order will be given access to the DOOM beta that will be going live later this year.

Set in the 1960s, you are once again put in the shoes of BJ Blazkowicz as he battles against the Nazi regime that is armed with some strangely advanced technology, allowing them to win World War II. You'll fight across Europe against the global Nazi regime, in an effort to halt their machinations.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is slated for release on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. A rating from the ESRB is pending, and for more information on the game, visit: www.wolfenstein.com.
