Wolfenstein: The New Order gets an earlier May 20 release date in Australia and Europe

Wolfenstein: The New Order, Machinegames' upcoming reimagining of the Nazi-filled first-person shooter franchise, will be released May 20 in Australia and Europe, three days earlier than its originally scheduled May 23 release.

According to a post on publisher Bethesda Softworks' blog, that means the game now has a global release date on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows PC — the same day it was previously scheduled to release in North America only. Those who pre-order Wolfenstein: The New Order will also receive beta access to the upcoming Doom game at an unannounced date.
