The thing that strikes you first is how oddly polite everyone is. Messy, with some obvious growing pains, but still an experience many competitive games could stand to learn from. So, when they gave away all the champions for free for this year’s QuakeCon, I finally dove in.Īnd you know what? Quake Champions might just be one of the smartest FPS games in years. That’s remarkable given how many other hero shooter games have tried and failed to survive in a market dominated by Overwatch and Paladins, especially an M-rated title based on an IP that’s not nearly as well known now as it once was. Despite being essentially forgotten by the internet, the game has a devoted community, churning along at its own pace. It’s received numerous updates for over three years now to acknowledge that it does, in fact, exist. It was followed by four sequels between 19.īethesda acquired id Software and its franchises in 2009, but the only Quake title published since then is 2017’s Quake Champions on Windows PC, which is now a free-to-play game.Quake Champions is a game that certainly happened. Although it, too, launched as a single-player FPS with a campaign, it became much more popular as a multiplayer arena shooter. The original Quake, which launched in the summer of 1996, was id’s successor to the Doom series. More details are available at Bethesda’s announcement. Expansion packs Scourge of Armagon, Dissolution of Eternity, and Dimension of the Past (the new, MachineGames-created add-on), are now included as part of the standard Quake package. The game’s score, produced by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, is also included. In terms of visuals, players can expect improved lighting and models, dynamic shadows, motion blur, and anti-aliasing.
On PC, Steam and Bethesda Launcher users who already own Quake will automatically receive the new version with a free download.
The remastered Quake is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One, and is playable through backward compatibility on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The new version of Quake includes 4K resolution support, cross-platform play, enhanced visuals, and a brand-new expansion pack from Wolfenstein developer MachineGames. Bethesda Softworks released a remastered version of the original Quake, the landmark first-person shooter id Software published 25 years ago, on Thursday.
