SkarVR has released the full version of its Return to Castle Wolfenstein mod, SkarVR's Brutally RealRTCW VR, which adds full VR support and gore effects. Built on the RealRTCW overhaul, it covers the main campaign, single-player maps, and co-op for Cursed Sands and Enemy Territory, and also runs on a regular monitor. Play requires the original 2001 game and RealRTCW, and it is distributed on ModDB.
SteamDB logs show updates to the hidden Steam store page for the 2009 Wolfenstein, including the removal of its release date and added Steam Machine and SteamOS support notes. The changes have fans speculating about a remake or remaster tied to Bethesda's QuakeCon event on August 7.
Bobby Prince, the composer behind the soundtracks of classic first-person shooters including 'Doom', 'Doom II', 'Wolfenstein 3D', 'Rise of the Triad', and 'Duke Nukem 3D', died on June 16, 2026.
