Microids and Virtuallyz Gaming are taking a swipe at 80’s arcade classic Operation Wolf, bringing up to date as VR shooter called Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR for Steam VR, Meta Quest 2, PlayStation VR 2 and Pico 4. The game will be released on July 13th, 2023.
A no- VR version will also be available later in the year with PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch getting a physical “Day One” edition and digital release, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC getting just a digital release.
“In its solo VR campaign, play as a special agent fighting a new criminal organization,” say Microids. “In addition to arms and drug trafficking, the organization, led by the mysterious General Viper, has developed a powerful new weapon. After discovering several of its bases, you will be sent to dismantle the organization, destroy the weapon and free the hostages held captive in surrounding camps.”

Our more “classic” readers may remember the original game which was one of the highest-grossing arcade games of 1988 and went on to win a Golden Joystick Award and be ported to almost every system available, include the ZX Spectrum, Commodore Amiga, NES, and Amstrad. Since it’s original release there have been three sequels, Operation Thunderbolt (1988), Operation Wolf 3 (1994), and Operation Tiger (1998).
