Video Gaming News - August 2003

Santa Monica, CA (August 6, 2003) - id Software and Activision, Inc. announced today the release of the final unlockable map for Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War.

From Activision:

Available via download through Xbox(tm) Live, the new level, titled Chateau, is the last of three unlockable maps from developer, Nerve Software. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War is available nationwide for the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft for a suggested retail price of $49.99 and carries an "M" (Mature) rating by the ESRB.

In this new map, Allied players must infiltrate a German occupied Chateau being used as a Nazi base of operations, locate secret documents, and transmit them back to U.S. headquarters while in the midst of combat. In order to succeed, the Allied team must act with brute force and destroy the outer perimeter doors to gain access into the Chateau library, located deep within the German stronghold.

For the opposition, Axis players need strategic planning and teamwork to thwart the coming U.S. offensive, and must mark all of the key entry points into the Chateau to adequately suppress the Allied attack. Chateau can be played in Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War's Stopwatch and Elimination multiplayer game modes.
