Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a digital-only demi-sequel in the vein of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon or Saints Row 4: Gat Out of Hell, gave fans another taste of the fun, Nazi-blasting action they came to love in the excellent Wolfenstein: The New Orderwhetting appetites for a proper sequel. According to one of the game’s voice actors, that sequel is in the works. Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus, who played Anya Oliwa in Wolfenstein: The New Order, revealed in an interview with Polish television that she’s working on the sequel to an American video game that she previously starred in. And the only one on her resume is The New Order.

Here is the relevant segment of the interview, as translated on Gamepressure.com:

Alicja: Yes, I’m still working on a computer game; I already did the first part, now we’re working on the second one, and it will take roughly two years.

TVN: You’re obviously doing it in the US?

Alicja: Yes, we’re doing it in the US.

In case there was any doubt about what the project in question is, at another point in the interview she mentions that as a child she enjoyed playing the game’s early iterations  from the 80s and 90s, particularly  “the moment when she could shoot Hitler.” At the time of this writing there has been no official announcement of the game. According to her timeline, though, we should expect the sequel to arrive no sooner than late 2017.

Starting as a series of WWII-set side-scrolling action/stealth games in the 80s, id Software took over the franchise in 1992 with Wolfenstein 3D, one of the earliest and most influential first-person shooters that established many of the conventions that id would further develop the following year with Doom. The franchised changed hands a few more times before falling to MachineGames, under the aegis of Bethesda, for 2014’s surprise hit Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Catly does not use generative AI or contain NFTs, devs say
A cat sleeps in Catly.

After stirring up controversy at The Game Awards, Catly developer SuperAuthenti Co. has clarified that its game does not use generative AI or blockchain technology, Digital Trends confirms.

Catly is an upcoming open-world adventure game that got a teaser trailer at this year's Game Awards. As soon as it aired, social media users began speculating about whether the "photorealistic" trailer used generative AI. When Digital Trends first asked a PR representative for SuperAuthenti if the trailer or project, which is described as being "technologically innovative" and featuring unique cats for every user, uses AI, we were initially told that the studio would not be answering further questions until 2025.

If you didn’t become a VR gamer in 2024, you probably never will
A Meta render gives you an idea of what you'll experience in VR with a Quest 3S.

Like many humiliated tech writers, I have been guilty of writing those seven little words that can haunt you for the rest of your career: “This was the year VR took off.”

Yes, a lot of us wide-eyed armchair analysts have fallen victim to this optimism trap over VR’s long lifespan. Half-Life: Alyx finally brings a complete gaming experience to a headset? VR has taken off. PlayStation introduces its own plug-and-play device? We’re off to the races. Meta invests heavily in games and releases a wireless device that makes them easy to play? It’s all happening! Of course, all of those lofty predictions tend to look like deflated balloons six months later.
