Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission release date set for September

We have a final release date for Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission following its announcement last year. The game will launch on September 21, it’s been confirmed.

As a reminder, Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission is an updated version of the cult arcade game from Taito. It was originally planned to come out last fall.

Here’s an overview of the horizontal scrolling rail shooter:

Developed by the French studio Virtuallyz Gaming, Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission remains faithful to the spirit of the original game, while premiering a new artistic direction. Players will find themselves transported back to the world of 80s action films, thanks to a gameplay focused entirely on non-stop action.

In its solo or coop campaign, play as a special agent fighting a new criminal organization. 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.
