Developer Endrant Studios is working on the multiplayer component of Raven's Wolfenstein, and has now revealed all the details on what to expect when going online with the shooter.
Raven and id Software's Wolfenstein won't be opening a portal to retail the first week of August, as previously planned. The latest game to be hit by a summer delay will now ship a few weeks later, Activision confirmed today.
The official system requirements for Wolfenstein have been revealed on the community forums, suggesting 1GB of ram, a 256MB graphics card and 3.2 GHz processor.
Gameplay – First of all the controls felt very solid and accessible. Going through the game was very intense and satisfying because of the new features Wolfenstein has added which is the VALE. Now the Vale adds so much to the gameplay because it enhances your strategy against the enemies and also evading situations.

I read a few blurbs on Internet Web sites, tried to get through a preview or two, and clicked a few random links on Wikipedia. Through my careful research and analysis, I found that the Wolfenstein franchise has never starred a wolf and neither will Raven Software's new title. What's up with that?
Today, Activision released a press release that told of the games that Activision will be showing off during E3 2009, while quickly adding the date that Wolfenstein will be coming out.
In supernatural World War II shooter Wolfenstein, you'll be able to melt Nazis with a plasma cannon. Some of the other weapons aren't quite so high-tech, though.
id Software and Activision continue to add to the comeback of Wolfenstein. This time they have added hollywood composer Bill Brown to the mix. Brown produced the score for Return to Castle Wolfenstein and will do the same for the upcoming Wolfenstein due out later this year.

VG247: Activision released a new trailer of Raven's Wolfenstein this morning, and pretty damn sensational it looked too. One thing, though: there's no PC or Games for Windows logo listed in the game's platforms at the end.
