Quake Remaster

Bethesda Softworks and developer id Software announced a Quake remaster via leaked store pages ahead of an official announcement today.

The new Quake remaster is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One (via the Xbox Store), and PlayStation 4 (via the PlayStation Store), and Nintendo Switch (via the eShop). Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions are coming soon as a free upgrade. The game will also be on Xbox Game Pass.

There’s never been a better time to play Quake.

Features

  • Play the Dark Fantasy Campaign – You are Ranger, a warrior armed with a powerful arsenal of weapons. Fight corrupted knights, deformed ogres and an army of twisted creatures across four dark dimensions of infested military bases, ancient medieval castles, lava-filled dungeons and gothic cathedrals in search of the four magic runes. Only after you have collected the runes will you hold the power to defeat the ancient evil that threatens all of humanity.
  • Get the Original & New Expansion Packs – Quake also comes with both original expansion packs: “The Scourge of Armagon” and “Dissolution of Eternity,” as well as two expansions developed by the award-winning team at MachineGames: “Dimension of the Past,” and the all-new “Dimension of the Machine.”
  • Discover the All-New “Dimension of the Machine” Expansion – In the deepest depths of the labyrinth lies the core of lava and steel known only as The Machine. Crusade across time and space against the forces of evil to bring together the lost runes, power the dormant machine, and open the portal hiding the greatest threat to all known worlds—destroy it…before it destroys us all.
  • Enjoy Online & Local Multiplayer and CO-OP – Fight through the dark fantasy base campaign and expansions in 4-player online or local split-screen co-op, and compete in pure, retro-style combat with support for 8-player (online) or 4-player (local split-screen) matches.
