Downloadable version of id Software’s seminal first-person shooter now available for $5.

Bethesda announced today that a downloadable version of id Software’s seminal first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D is now available to download on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

The game is available on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Steam for $5 in North America, with a PSN launch in Europe “coming soon.”

The game originally came to XBLA and PSN through Activision in 2009, though the new re-release is by way of Bethesda, which acquired id Software later that year.

Wolfenstein 3D puts players into the boots of B.J. Blazkowicz, a spy agent who must escape from Castle Wolfenstein by laying waste to hordes of Nazis, including Hans Grosse and Mecha-Hitler. .

Bethesda and MachineGames are currently working on the all-new Wolfenstein: The New Order, which will launch later this year for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and next-generation consoles.
