Activision reveals Wolfenstein details, teaser trailer

Considering id Software isn't supposed to be at E3 this year (since they left the ESA) the company is making quite a splash. First, id announced plans to partner with Electronic Arts for its upcoming title Rage and now they're busy dropping new details for an upcoming Wolfenstein title. Publisher Activision (another E3 no show) released a handful of screenshots for the latest entry of the famed first-person shooter and showcased the game with a gameplay trailer during their press conference.

Co-developed by Raven Software, Wolfenstein will once again feature hero B. J. Blazkowicz against Nazi and supernatural enemies.

As the Nazis attempt to open a dark dimension known as "The Shroud," B. J. is called into action to halt their evil plans. The new Wolfenstein game will once again feature team based objective multiplayer, also seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War. More information is expected at id's annual QuakeCon which takes place later this month.

Yes!!! I have wanted to see this game in action for so long! I loved the old ones (especially RTCW), so this is awesome news! Too bad I'm at work and can't actually watch the video... but I'm excited to go home now!

Really, at this point, why even go to E3? Companies seem to get just as much attention timing their media and announcements with the show lol.
