Wolfenstein RPG, a game that takes the infamous shooter and attaches conventional RPG mechanics to it, will be the last id Software-produced iPhone game published by Electronic Arts, now that the studio has been acquired by ZeniMax Media. id co-founder John Carmack has been telling the press Wolfenstein RPG is done, so where is it?

EA was only willing to divulge a "summer" release date to me, with EA Mobile website listing Wolfenstein RPG as "coming soon."

The release of Wolfeinstein RPG remains a bit of a mystery, as it does most of the time, and like most iPhone releases, I expect it'll just magically show up one morning. How suspenseful.
