It takes a pretty special video game to remain relevant and active after a single decade, but Quake<\/em> has long since blown past that milestone. The legendary first-person shooter is coming up on its 30-year anniversary and is marking the occasion with the addition of brand new content. Dawn of the Machine<\/em> is a free update that’s available today for Quake<\/em> owners on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Steam, Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox One, Microsoft PC Store, Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.<\/p>\n The expansion includes a 19-map campaign, a new soundtrack and a new Deathmatch map. It was made by MachineGames, the same studio behind the recent hit Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/em> as well as several newer titles in the rebooted Wolfenstein series, in collaboration with the series creator id Software. Perhaps fittingly for this anniversary expansion, there’s a time loop mechanic at play along with some new variants of the familiar Quake enemies and weapon arsenal. Several of the franchise’s current and past leaders, including id Software co-founder and game design icon John Romero, participated in a livestreamed panel discussion\u00a0today during Quakecon to discuss this latest chapter in the influential first-person shooter’s history.<\/p>\n
