Wolfenstein blitzes stores August 4

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted May 29, 2009 6:45 pm PT

Raven Software revamp of shooter franchise gets dated for PC, Xbox 360, PS3; original Wolfenstein 3D gets XBLA, PSN release next week.

Nazis, beware. Activision today announced that the revamp of Wolfenstein is set for an August 4 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Developed by Raven Software (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Singularity), Wolfenstein drops players into the army boots of B.J. Blazkowicz, who is once again sent behind enemy lines to thwart Hitler's occult ambitions. For this go-around, players will be able to fight fire with fire, using the power of a sought-after artifact to combat Hitler's own freakish army of evil.

With the newest installment in the series still months away, eager gamers will be able to pass the time by brushing up on the franchise's 3D roots. Activision will release a downloadable console edition of the original PC shooter Wolfenstein 3D next week.

Wolfenstein 3D sees players blasting their way through 60 levels of carnage on their way to a face-to-face encounter with Mecha-Hitler. The game will be available June 3 on the Xbox 360 and June 4 on the PS3. Wolfenstein 3D will be available for $5 (400 Microsoft points).

    If it is not co-op Multiplayer my group of friends will not buy it.
    Anyone know if it is co-op or player versus player stupidity?

    I liked Return to Castle Wolfenstein, RTCW: ET, and RTCW: Tides of War, so I might get this game, but I want to see how it will turn out before buying, but it does look awesome, but I'm sure only the true Wolfenstein fans like myself will probably enjoy the game, or I might be wrong, but it looks like fun to me.

    @ youngdoc

    Trust me RTCW was not underrated infact people still play it today even after the free Wolf ET came out.

    good ol' castle wolfenstein back on PC is 1993...(???) with the most advanced control scheme of the arrow keys, right control, space bar, and the number keys......those were the days

    At last... I have been waiting so long. I hope the voice acting and soundtrack live up to the standards set by RTCW -- an underrated game that still ranks among my all time favorites. I look forward to playing this on my flat screen.

    It's great to know the game's release date, but please ... Don't Rush It. The 2001st's RTCW's multi-player was a blast, but the single player lacked 2 qualities of a good game - the gameplay and the story. The graphics were amazing though, but I think 9.2 was a bit too forgiving. I do have high hopes for ID, it is one of my favorite developers, and I love Wolfenstein(especially the original), good luck ID.
