If you were lucky enough to have a desktop computer in 1992, and you were a boy, you likely had id Software's Wolfenstein 3D. Wolfenstein is widely regarded as the game that launched the first-person shooter genre later made notorious and popular by games such as Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Quake, and GoldenEye 007. It isn't a secret that id Software has been working with Middleton-based Raven Software on an updated version of Wolfenstein for a 2009 release. However, very little is actually known about the direction the companies plan to take the new version of the Nazi smashing game.

That could change on July 15 at the E3 Media and Business Summit - an invite only trade show in Los Angeles for the computer and video game industry. In a press release from SpikeTV and gametrailers.com they tout a week of exclusives and mention that on July 15 at 11:59 p.m. Spike will feature "more world exclusive surprises including something special from id Software and Raven Software."

This could be any number of projects currently speculated to be churning over at Raven Software's studios, including the rumored Marvel Universe 2, but the inclusion of id Software makes it likely that gamers will be getting their first peak into the new Wolfenstein.
