Bethesda announced Wolfenstein: The New Order earlier this year for current and next generation consoles, with a release at the end of 2013. It has now been announced that the game has been delayed. Bethesda has told Polygon that the game has been pushed back to an unspecified date in 2014. The reason for the delay was due to extra time needed to develop for next generation consoles and they wanted extra polish time:

"The fact that the next-gen stuff is still moving is also definitely a factor. But the most important thing was definitely just looking where it was at, what they needed to polish. Because it's just not trying to be a shooter, because it's trying to be a shooter that also has driving elements, story elements, narrative, stealth sections — each one of those has to be excellent."

Wolfenstein: The New Order is being developed for the PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Here is the official game description and previously released trailer:

"The year is 1960 and the Nazi's have won World War II. War hero B.J. Blazkowicz must launch an impossible counter-offensive against the monstrous Nazi regime that has conquered the globe.

Intense, cinematic and rendered in stunning detail with id® Software's id Tech® 5 engine, Wolfenstein sends players across Europe on a mission to bring down the Nazi war machine. Infiltrate their most heavily guarded facilities, battle high-tech Nazi legions, and take control of super-weapons that have conquered the earth -- and beyond. Wolfenstein is under development at MachineGames, a studio comprised of a seasoned group of developers recognized for their work creating award-winning games."
