The Bethesda Blog announces a May 23rd European release date for Wolfenstein: The New Order, noting elsewhere that the new installment in the military shooter series will come to North America on May 20th. Bethesda also announces that those who preorder the alternate-history game will gain access to the beta testing of id Software's upcoming DOOM game, saying a beta code will come in the Wolfenstein game box, though the test will start at a later date. They are offering preorders for all platforms, though they don't promise the beta will cover all of them, saying: "Beta timing and platform options are subject to Bethesda Softworks’ discretion." All the details can be found in this FAQ, where they also answer the question about whether the new DOOM game will have an open beta, saying: "Timing and availability of future beta programs for DOOM is to be determined. The only current way to ensure access is through pre-ordering Wolfenstein: The New Order. We will be providing more information on additional beta tests, if any, at a later time." They punctuate the news with a new "BOOM BOOM" gameplay trailer.
