id Software‘s Quake has been officially rated ‘Mature 17+’ on the ESRB website for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
“This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a soldier that travels through time to stop an evil force from destroying humanity. Players traverse through maze-like medieval enviornments and use shotguns, nail guns, and grenade launchers to kill various enemies (e.g., zombies, demonic forces, scorpions, humans) in frenetic run-and-gun combat. Battles are accompanied by gunfire sounds, screams of pain, and large explosions. Large blood-splatter effects occur frequently, and several attack cause enemies to explode into bloody chunks. Some areas depict mutilated body parts on the ground or falling from ceilings”
Earlier this month, Bethesda revealed that it will be hosting the QuakeCon 2021, “celebrating the 25 years of Quake with id Software and MachineGames.” On the same day, XboxEra reported that the company might reveal “Quake Revitalised Edition” during the event, as seen on the event’s schedule.
“Quake is back, in this special stream John Linneman from Digital Foundry talks to Jerk Gustafsson of Machine Games about the title’s iconic legacy and what it meant to both of them. The pair will also discuss the additional content Machine Games have contributed to this revitalized edition.”
Not only that, according to SteamDB, Quake got an update for its “Beta Depot” 15 hours ago, at the time of writing.
QuakeCon 2021 officially kicks off later today at 11 AM Pacific and will run for the next two days, ending on Saturday, August 21, 2021.
