Create and Run MVC 5 Project in VS 2012

by

Microsoft has released updated Web Tools 2013.1 that provide the support:

Note that I had to install it manually from the second link, the tools did not install properly from Web Platform Installer. Also a colleague had to install both Update 4 and these tools to get proper support.

Original answer (not actual anymore):

I received this answer from Microsoft developer:

MVC 5/Razor 3 tooling support for VS 2012 has not shipped yet. We hope to ship this support in Mid November.

Recently ASP.NET Program Manager from Microsoft mentioned in a talk that this would be included in VS2012 Update 4. Edit: unfortunately the support is not in Update 4.

So the accepted answer is true for now but we can plan to soon have this support in VS2012 as well.
