Bethesda Softworks has announced a new title, Wolfenstein: The New Order, an action-adventure shooter slated to hit the Xbox 360, PS3, PC and next-gen consoles in time for the holidays later this year.
The game is being developed by MachineGames, a Sweden-based studio that was founded by the same people that started up Starbreeze Studios – the developers responsible for the critically acclaimed Chronicles of Riddick.
"We are excited to bring a new chapter of Wolfenstein to gamers everywhere," said Jens Matthies, creative director at MachineGames. "As fans of the series, working on this game is an honor, and our team is driven to create an unforgettable action-adventure experience that will make FPS fans proud."
Wolfenstein: The New Order is a reimagining of the franchise. How, or if, it will have any tie-ins to 2009's "Wolfenstein" remains to be seen. What we DO know is that the title is being developed using the iD Tech 5 engine, the same engine that was used for RAGE and the currently under development Doom 4.
