id Software, Bethesda, and Microsoft have kicked off QuakeCon 2022 with the release of a few more id Software and Bethesda games on PC Game Pass. The QuakeCon celebration is also happening on Steam with a sale on Bethesda and id Software games.

Here are the games coming to PC Game Pass:

Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Quake 4
Wolfenstein 3D
An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire
The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard

Game Pass subscribers now also have access to a new perk which unlocks all playable Champions in multiplayer game Quake Champions.

id Software recently changed the way it sells its games on Steam, consolidating and re-bundling several of its games from the DOOM and Quake franchises. The changes were made largely to make buying, for example, DOOM 2, much less complicated than it used to be with different versions and expansions.

This change also introduced new bundles for DOOM Classic, the DOOM franchise, and the Quake franchise.

15 Amazing Wolfenstein Facts You Need To Know Know

There aren’t too many video game franchises that you can point to as the progenitors of entire genres, but Wolfenstein is definitely one of them. As the father of first person shooters, there’s a lot that this industry owes to Wolfenstein, which is why it’s so heartening to see it alive and kicking even now, decades after its inception. MachineGames have proven to be more than up to the task of modernizing this legendary series, and soon, with Arkane Studios by their side, they’ll be delivering Wolfenstein: Youngblood, a non-numbered sequel to The New Colossus which takes the series in new directions yet again.

As we gear up for its launch, in this feature, we’ll be taking a look at the history of Wolfenstein and listing out some interesting facts about it that you might not know. To get started though, let’s begin with something that’s not all that uncommon knowledge.

THE SERIES DIDN’T START OUT AS A SHOOTER

Wolfenstein 3D is essentially the granddaddy of first person shooters, but there were two more Wolf games before it that belonged to entirely different genres. The first of these, called Castle Wolfenstein, launched more than a decade before 3D, in 1981, and it was a top down stealth based action adventure title.

15 Scary Levels In Non-Horror Games

All mediums of entertainment strive to elicit strong reactions in their audiences, and video games are obviously no different. And very few reactions to something are ever as honest or leave as lasting of an impact as being scared out of your wits. So of course, game’s love to do that as well. But for a game to do that, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a horror title. Over the years, there have been countless video games that have had genuinely scary moments and sequences that, all said and done, didn’t belong to the horror genre at all. In this feature, we’re going to take at fifteen such levels in non-horror video games. Some of these might be downright frightening, while others might just be disturbing in different ways, but we feel all fifteen of these deserve to be mentioned in this feature.

Please note that there might be slight spoilers ahead, so stop watching if we start talking about a game you don’t want spoiled. In case you have any suggestions that we may have failed to mention, drop a comment down below.

Without further ado, let’s begin.

DEVIL’S HOUSE (METAL GEAR SOLID 5: THE PHANTOM PAIN)

Hideo Kojima and his Metal Gear games have had a long history of featuring some truly frightening sequences, and The Phantom Pain was obviously no different (in this regard, at least). One of the more disturbing scenes in the entire game comes in the location known as the Devil’s House. Seeing the dozens upon dozens of people who’re being experimented on by XOF in this dingy location can seriously give you the creeps, while the mere presence of Psycho Mantis and the Man on Fire also presents a tough challenge. Hell, there’s even a P.T. easter egg in here.
