The much anticipated "Wolfenstein: The New Order" has been given a release date by Bethesda, along with the news that all pre-orders of the MachineGames' developed title will be given a beta key to the next "DOOM" title from id Software!
The "DOOM" beta key comes with each pre-ordered copy of "Wolfenstein: The New Order" which comes out on May 23, 2014. Bethesda did not provide additional information on the "DOOM" title, so it's unknown whether it is "DOOM 4" or a different entry in the series; however, all signs point to the remade "DOOM 4" that was announced on QuakeCon.
Former id Software co-founder Tim Willits announced during QuakeCon 2013 that DOOM 4 was being remade as of 2011.
According to the information released by Bethesda:
"An insert will be included inside your boxed copy of Wolfenstein: The New Order. This insert will include a key code along with code redemption instructions. Once the key code is redeemed, you'll be registered to participate in the DOOM beta once it begins. Check back with the website for updated information," the disclaimer reads.
"Although you'll receive the DOOM beta key code with your copy of Wolfenstein: The New Order, the DOOM beta won't begin until a later, yet-to-be announced date. We will contact you with news and updates surrounding the start of the DOOM beta via the email address provided during the key code redemption process."
Bethesda has said that the only way to ensure access to the new "DOOM" beta, is through pre-ordering "Wolfenstein: The New Order".
"Wolfenstein: The New Order" is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in North America on May 20 and throughout Europe on May 23.
