Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Announced, Coming in May

Bethesda and MachineGames have announced Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a standalone prequel to the blummin’ brilliant Wolfenstein: The New Order. 

Here’s the setup: “The year is 1946 and the Nazis are on the brink of winning World War II. In an effort to turn the tide in the Allies’ favour, B.J. Blazkowicz must embark on an epic, two-part mission deep within Bavaria.”

“Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves - pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound."

“In part two – The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs – our hero's search for the coordinates leads him to the city of Wulfburg where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is exhuming mysterious artefacts that threaten to unleash a dark and ancient power.”

Good stuff, right? Well here’s the most exciting bit. The game will be available digitally and at retail from May 5th for Xbox One and PS4 - soon! - for just £14.99 / €19.99.

You can see the announcement trailer for Wolfenstein: The Old Blood below, alongside a few screenshots.

I'm not sure how to embed, but that's the trailer  

PSYCHED!!

Fantastic! I love these sorts of digital AAA games. Still need to play New Order, though.

And they're not releasing it in March. Such rebels!

I was thinking about getting it,  heard it's pretty good.

Just saw this on the Playstation blog. Leadified is going to be pumped :)

nice to see them steal an idea from a 60s war movie.

So its kinda like stand alone DLC to New Order?? Like First Light and Blood Dragon etc.
Wonder what that means for E3 for them

I'm sure it is. The guys at Machine Games came from Starbreeze, and they can do no wrong in my eyes.
