Take A Gander At Wolfenstein (The New One)

New site live for joint Nazi-killing venture from your friends at id, Raven, and Activision.

Activision has posted the new site for Raven Software's upcoming Wolfenstein sequel, which, apparently, is just going to be called Wolfenstein. You can head over there for a spot of media and news on the game, though I have shamelessly lifted all of the screenshots for your perusal here.


We'll be getting a firsthand look at Wolfenstein in the very near future, so stay tuned for some hard info. In the meantime, I would invite other developers of World War II-themed shooters to ruminate on a truth Raven clearly understands. That is, the best way to keep your WWII game fresh? Nazis in robot suits.

Please let this be good.

I've always enjoyed the more OTT Wolfeinstein game world to the dime-a-dozen, 'serious', world-war two shooters out there - please, Raven, don't mess it up now.

Looks good.  I absolutely loved and played the hell out of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and will be very much anticipating this newest installment.  :)

I sold my copy of RTCW on Ebay - it was a special edition, too. I have since regretted the decision :(

*hopes that there will be a Steam sale on iD Super Pack soon*

Missed opportunity. It should have been called Return to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, or Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Look Who's Returning Now!

Personally, I think that looks uninspired to say the least. Am I finally getting shooter fatigue syndrome? Maybe...those pics make me want to take a nap.

Because the swastikas is actually "banned" in some European countries.

If it has Enemy Territory style multiplayer, however, I'll buy twelve copies.

WOW! i remember asking for Return to Castle Wolfenstein for the Christmas 7 years ago in 2002 the first ever PC game i got (Come to think of it i must of only been 12 at the time). This is a must buy for me not only because it looks great  but also sentimental value.

Compared to RTCW this game just looks bad  and generic :\ RTCW had the best graphics for it's day and it still prides it's self on having some of the best pre DX 9 fire graphics.

This game better have multiplayer thats as good aswel.

It does indeed look a little bit dated, but nonetheless RTCW was probably the definitive team based FPS of it's time. I practically didn't play anything for like 2 years except RTCW! So I'll still give this Wolfenstien the benefit of a doubt, It might just be as good as the last one.

Don't wanna rain on your parade BoG, but id didn't make the last Wolfenstein either. They only published it, same as this one. And Raven has a pretty good track record for FPS's I think, I know I played the hell outta some SoF2 MP.

Those character models look terrible. They don't stand naturally at all... looks very last-gen.

I enjoyed the past games, so hopefully this improves by the time it launches.

RTCW was Grey Matter and Nerve with permission from id, so anything's possible. Although Raven kinda soured me after Quake 4, so I'm a little reluctant.

Quake Wars is damn good on PC, just too hardcore for most people.

This isn't the second Wolfenstein for those who wanted a "2" at the end.

In that 3rd pic the guy is holding the weapon wrong, in fact it appears that the models hold all of the guns the same way.  I hope they do a little more research before beta.

Did the Robo-Nazi with huge shoulder lanterns really need camouflage on his armour?  Where's he going to hide? In the shadows he just banished with 1,000,000 candlepower pauldrons?

PLEASE GIVE US SOME INFO ON MULTIPLAYER!!!  Please please please!!  I and many others could care less about the single player.  We pretty much know it will be mediocre, BJ against the Nazis.  BJ can use the "veil" for otherworldly powers similar to bullet time etc.  No MechaHItler etc.  We know we know we know.  There...I wrote your preview.  Now please give us real EXCLUSIVE info on multiplayer...then you will be GOdz.
