It was assumed that DOOM was being worked on as it was almost a running joke on social media sites. But the fact that it was close enough to actually have people test, now that was a surprise.</p>
<p>Now with all good things, there must always be a catch, correct? Today, it was announced via the Wolfenstein website that if you pre-order the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version, you will receive a beta key but they will only work for either the Xbox One or PlayStation 4.</p>
<p>There will be no beta for last-gen systems.</p>
<p>According to the post on their site, retail boxed copies will have a code inside them and for those who have gone digital, Bethesda will have something in place with Steam, Microsoft and Sony so digital customers will get access as well.</p>
<p>As usual, if you shop off the beaten path, check with your retailer to see how they will be getting codes.</p>
<p>Public Service Announcement: Pre-ordering Wolfenstein: The New Order is only way to ensure access to the Doom beta.</p>
<p>Bethesda and MachineGames will be releasing Wolfenstein: The New order on PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, globally on May 20.</p>
