It would also be wonderful to have Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor back to once again handle the soundtrack. Whether it's the blood-soaked eldritch halls of the original game, or the sci-fi body horror of its sequels, Quake has always left a lasting impression in terms of setting that's just begging to be explored with current-gen technology. However, a new Quake game is certainly long overdue. In fairness, there was a 12-year gap between Doom 3 and Doom (2016), so it's certainly not as if id Software's flagship series has been routinely pumping out releases until very recently. Quake II is a slower, more tactical game than Quake, although it retains many of Quakes advanced movement mechanics, and ids signature 'kill-em-all' style. If it wasn't for multiplayer projects like Quake Live or Quake Champions, we'd have gone 16 years without a game in the series. Developed by id Software and using an upgraded game engine, Quake II was originally supposed to be an all-new project, but was attached to the Quake brand following difficulties in securing a new title. The last official single-player Quake title was Quake 4, released all the way back in 2005, if you can believe that. Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 7 64-bit Processor: Intel i3-3220 or AMD Equivalent Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce.

This could signify that a remaster of the original game will be making its way to PC and current-gen consoles.īut with QuakeCon 2021 happening from August 19 - August 22, there's every chance that this Quake ESRB listing won't remain a mystery for very long. That said, the description for the game on the ESRB listing is reminiscent of the setting for the very first Quake, released in 1996. As we only have the ESRB listing to go off for now, the existence of a future Quake project should be taken with a pinch of salt. While Quake, 2, and 3 Arena are better than Doom 1,2, and 3, Doom 2016 and Eternal are so freakin’ awesome. It's currently unclear if this Quake project will be a brand new entry in the series or not, or if it will amount to anything at all. I’m assuming this is about the originals so I voted for Quake.
