Wolfenstein delayed a bit, nothing to do with Modern Warfare photo

In bad news originally spotted by Shacknews, id Software's and Raven Software's Wolfenstein has been sort of delayed. The good news is that it's only by a few weeks; the game is now officially set to ship the week of August 17. 

The title was originally set to ship for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC...uh... we don't quite remember. But needless to say, it was slightly earlier than August 17. Also, Activision will have you know that unlike the Singularity delay, this has nothing to do Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

"In order to facilitate a simultaneous global release window for id Software’s Wolfenstein, Activision has realigned the game’s release date for the week beginning August 17th," the publisher said in a statement today.

See, nothing to do with Modern Warfare 2 and everything to do with how big the Earth is. Stupid Earth.

On a lighter note, hit the jump to see a video of a pug in a toilet.

Other than COD:World at War 2, all shooters should wait a year for Modern Warfare 2 to saturate....mwahahahah.

@Dimly:

I'm pretty sure it's The Joker's YouTube channel.

@Hoborg:

Me. Seems solid.

Return to Wolfenstein was cool. New one looks pretty sweet so far.

While Wolfenstein may turn out to be good, toilet pug is indubitably great. Toilet pug is forever.

I do think the game looks, as Nick says, solid. Not going to set the world on fire, but it might at least start a little flame in my heart. Sparks, at the very least.

I'm pretty excited about this game. Hope the delay makes for a more successful release!

The more I read about the game, the more I want to play it.

From the interview Carmack gave after the Zenimax buy-out, it's obvious Activision dislikes publishing any of iD's properties. Maybe we should really be thankful Kotick hasn't tried to kill the thing.

Delays are not really bad news. They are usually signs that someone cares more about quality and less about marketing and artificial deadlines. Better game, better sales. Win-win.

Hopefully there will be some sort of multiplayer beta. That new date is the day after Quakecon ends. :(
