E3 Wolfenstein footage
As id continues to cycle through its mainstay franchises (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein) it seems it is now time for William ”BJ” Blazkowicz to save the earth once again from the occult experimentation of the Third Reich……again.
Announced 3 years ago, little so far has been announced about 2001’s RTCW sequel. Going by the end of the trailer above it seems the assumed ‘Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2′ name has been dropped in favor of simply ’Wolfenstein’.
The visual asthetic has definetely got the feel of RTCW, with the graphical bar being raised significantly. It is unclear what engine Wolfenstein is currently running on, but I’d assume it would be the Rage engine “id tech 5″ rather than an enhanced Doom 3 engine.
At the very least the trailer promises destructible enviroments, jetpack and electricity weilding enemies and a ton of explosions. Good times
The game is being developed for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 by id software and Raven, with publishing duties handed to Activision. Todd Hollenshead has announced more footage is to be shown at Quakecon on July 31st.
