Quake is back! Come find out what the future of this famous franchise holds.
Well, scratch one entrant off of our E3 prediction list as Bethesda has just confirmed that Quake is making its long-awaited comeback.
It's called Quake Champions, and you can check out the game's first trailer below:
This title appears to be a follow-up to the infamous Quake III: Arena as it attempts to revive the arena shooter genre that classic game helped to popularize. Bethesda is promising a pure Arena-style shooter experience with a special emphasis on interesting characters and creating an equal playing field for all levels of fraggers.
From the trailer alone, it is clear that this new Quake is focused on providing the same brand of lightning-fueled rapid chaos that made Arena one of the most popular games of its generation. While Bethesda's presentation suggests that the team will be taking cues from the open, character-driven style of Overwatch, the trailer showcases an arena battleground that is unmistakably worthy of the Quake name.
At this time, Quake Championshas only been confirmed for a PC release. While no console versions were mentioned in the presentation, we hope to learn the full details about Quake Champions at Quakecon in August when the game will supposedly make its full debut.
