"If you haven't played Return to Castle Wolfenstein, now is your chance to experience the best of World War II single and multiplayer action," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "By incorporating Enemy Territory, one of the most widely played online multiplayer games, with the critically acclaimed Return to Castle Wolfenstein, we're offering gamers an almost endless battle through the trenches of these not-to-be-missed games."


Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Platinum Edition is a supernatural World War II first person action thriller, where gamers are thrust into a last ditch offensive against Heinrich Himmler's evil SS paranormal division. In single player, you are B.J. Blaczkowicz, a U.S. Army Ranger on special assignment from the Office of Secret Actions with orders to uncover and stop the diabolical acts of the Third Reich. The title's multiplayer modes enlist gamers to hone their tactical skills in squad-based combat scenarios. Players join the battles as an axis or ally soldier and are instantly challenged to intense, realistic class-based, warfare.

Platinum Edition features the original Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which garnered multiple game of the year awards in 2001 and 90-percent or higher ratings in over 35 different publications, plus this year's hit online follow-up release, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Featuring multiplayer support for up to 32 players, Enemy Territory blends specialized class-based skills and abilities like demolition or covert operations, and persistent character progression and ranks, with real-time strategy elements like command centers and fire-teams. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is consistently ranked among the top-3 most played first-person games online.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein was developed by Gray Matter Entertainment, with the multiplayer component being developed by Nerve Software. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was developed by Splash Damage, Ltd. Both titles have been executive produced by id Software.
