Bethesda has revealed that the next saga in the adventures of B.J. Blazkowicz - Wolfenstein: The New Order - will now be launching simultaneously in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday, May 20th.

Previously slated for a May 22nd date here in Australia, the new release is a welcome change for those eager to jump back into the boots of Wolfenstein's quite fast-paced FPS combat.

Currently under development at MachineGames, Wolfenstein: The New Order, the first-person action-adventure shooter, reignites the franchisewidely recognized for pioneering the first-person shooter genre. Set in the1960s, the monstrous Nazi regime has used mysterious advanced technology to win World War II. They now rule the globe with an iron fist.Wolfenstein: The New Order sends you across Europe on a harrowing mission to bring down the Nazi war machine.

As an added bonus, anyone who goes about pre-ordering the game will be invited to access the DOOM beta with their copy of Wolfenstein: The New Order. More info on that one can be found over here, though sadly no word yet on what exactly this new DOOM will be about. Hopefully the wait was worth it.

Wolfenstein: The New Order will be launching for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
