Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR set to deploy onto PS VR2, Quest 2, Steam VR next month

Following up on the recent announcement of a new Operation Wolf shooter for VR and “flat” platforms, Microids and Virtuallyz have dropped an updated release date bomb for the VR specific version of Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission.

Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR, which was roughly set to release this month, is scheduled to be deployed on July 13th for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, Steam VR and Pico 4, and then on the PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, PC as non-VR versions this Fall. An interesting strategy that we hope pays off.  Since we’re most excited about the VR release  we’ll be sure to cover that version when available.

Have a look at the new trailer and game details below. (and forgive the puns please)
