Bethesda Eyes 2009 Wolfenstein Remaster at QuakeCon as 30th-Anniversary Event Nears

2 articles · Updated · GAMINGbible · Jul 26

Summary

  • A remaster of 2009's Wolfenstein could be announced and released at QuakeCon in August, with reports pointing to another Bethesda "shadow drop".
  • SteamDB changes fueled the speculation: the game's release date was removed from its storefront listing and it was marked Steam Deck Verified.
  • Bethesda used the same tactic twice in 2026, unveiling and quickly releasing Oblivion Remastered in April and Heretic + Hexen in August.
  • The 2009 shooter was delisted from Steam in 2014 ahead of Wolfenstein: The New Order, which reset much of the series' lore.
  • QuakeCon runs Aug. 6-9 and marks its 30th anniversary, arriving weeks after Xbox cut 3,200 jobs across its portfolio, including heavy layoffs at ZeniMax studios.
