QuakeCon 2021 gets underway today
[Update:The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Koreahas released its own listingfor aQuake Remastered,as spotted byGematsu.]
Today sees the start of QuakeCon, the long-running fan convention focused on id Software’s legendary shooter franchise. And it seems that the festivities have gotten underway a little earlier than expected after the ESRB ratings websitedropped a new listingfor an as-yet-unannounced new title in theQuakeseries,as spotted by VGC.
The ESRB’s listing for the succinctly titled “Quake” speaks of players exploring a medieval environment populated with horrific monsters and other fantasy creatures, to be fended off with an arsenal of explosive weapons, includingQuake‘s iconic nail gun. Sure sounds likeQuake. The listing doesn’t give away quite enough clues as to whether the new title is a brand new reboot — ala 2016’sDoom— or just a remaster/remake of the 1996 original. This isn’t the first clue that more mayhem was incoming, as a since-deleted listing for QuakeCon also spilled the beans on a “revitalized”Quakeexperience.
Given the QuakeCon goes live today, we’ll no doubt receive answers to these questions at some point during the course of the weekend. QuakeCon — which isonce again being hosted in an online capacity— will include news and reveals, online tournaments, retrospectives, interviews, art contests, and much more. You can check out the full schedule of eventsover on the official QuakeCon website, and catch all of the action on a selection of official Twitch channels.
We’ll be sure to give y’all a heads-up when the mysterious newQuaketitle is officially unveiled. Better stock up on screws.
