Bethesda has today announced that it is adjusting the release dates for its new game Wolfenstein: The New Order within Europe and Australia, to bring them in line and launch on the same day as the game will release in North America.
Europe and Australian gamers were expected to be able to enjoy Wolfenstein: The New Order on May 22 and 23rd respectively, but now Bethesda will be launching in all three regions on a Wolfenstein: The New Order release date of May 20th, 2014.
Game Overview and Plot
Players of Wolfenstein: The New Order take on the role of the series protagonist William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, with the mission of launching an “impossible counter-offensive” against the Nazi powers that have taken over the world. The game is set in an alternate timeline where the Nazis won World War II and have established a global regime. This dystopian setting provides a rich backdrop for the intense and action-packed gameplay that the Wolfenstein series is known for.
“Taking place in 1960, Wolfenstein: The New Order depicts an alternate timeline — one in which the Nazis won World War II and took over the world… and only B.J. Blazkowicz can stand up to them. Learn more in our new E3 trailer featuring new gameplay footage.”
The game combines elements of traditional first-person shooters with a compelling narrative and character development. Players will navigate through various missions, each designed to challenge their strategic thinking and combat skills. The storyline is filled with twists and turns, keeping players engaged as they fight to overthrow the Nazi regime.
Gameplay and Features
Wolfenstein: The New Order offers a variety of gameplay features that enhance the overall experience. One of the standout features is the game’s attention to detail in its alternate history setting. The developers have meticulously crafted environments that reflect a world dominated by Nazi ideology, complete with propaganda and advanced technology that the regime has developed.
The game also introduces a range of weapons and gadgets that players can use to their advantage. From traditional firearms to more advanced, experimental weapons, the arsenal available to B.J. Blazkowicz is both diverse and deadly. Players can also utilize stealth tactics to take down enemies quietly, adding another layer of strategy to the gameplay.
Another notable feature is the game’s AI, which is designed to provide a challenging experience. Enemies are not only numerous but also intelligent, often working together to outflank and overpower the player. This requires players to think on their feet and adapt their strategies on the fly.
The game also includes a variety of difficulty settings, making it accessible to both newcomers and veteran players of the series. Whether you are looking for a casual experience or a hardcore challenge, Wolfenstein: The New Order has something to offer.
Reception and Anticipation
The announcement of the synchronized release date has been met with excitement from fans across the globe. The decision to launch the game simultaneously in North America, Europe, and Australia ensures that players worldwide can experience the game at the same time, fostering a sense of community and shared excitement.
Early previews and trailers have generated a significant amount of buzz, with many praising the game’s graphics, storyline, and innovative gameplay mechanics. The E3 trailer, in particular, has been highlighted for its impressive visuals and engaging content, further heightening anticipation for the game’s release.
