This is the premise of the new campaign, as written on the blog post announcing the update:<\/p>\n
As the battle-hardened Ranger, players survive a labyrinthine dimension where time folds back onto itself, creating a unique looping structure where each visit in the present reshapes the future.<\/p>\n
Collect runes to unlock previously sealed paths brimming with new routes, encounters and secrets, plus persistent health and ammunition upgrades throughout add a new layer of progression to Quake\u2019s classic gameplay.<\/p>\n
The new maps have been added to the campaign list in the remastered version of Quake<\/em>, and like that remaster, they\u2019re available free to anyone who already owns Quake<\/em> on Steam, as well as Quake<\/em> on current and last-gen PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles.<\/p>\n It has recently been reported that a significant number of people at original Quake<\/em> developer id Software were laid off amid Microsoft\u2019s major Xbox reorganization; however, most of that studio has been more focused on the recent Doom reboot series. MachineGames has been the primary force generating new Quake<\/em> content, and that studio does not appear to have been as deeply affected by layoffs just yet\u2014though more are expected throughout the Xbox organization in the coming months.<\/p>\n The grim context aside, it\u2019s good to see some classic PC games still getting new maps all these years later. Like Age of Empires II<\/em>, Quake<\/em> has seen something of a resurgence thanks to its remaster and more official content over the past few years.<\/p>\n \n The trailer for Dawn of the Machine.<\/p>\n
