[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60135, member: 1"] To kick off QuakeCon 2023, Bethesda and ID Software have released a remaster of Quake II. Complete with visual enhancements, a new expansion, multiplayer, and the Nintendo 64 version of Quake II bundled in, this remaster is available now on Xbox One and Series S | X, Nintendo Switch, PC, and both PS4 and PS5. It's also available through both Xbox and PC Game Pass and is playable via Xbox Cloud Gaming. This shadow drop mirrors that of Quake 1's remaster which hit Xbox, Switch, and PC, and was announced at QuakeCon and released the same day in 2021. QuakeCon, one of the world's biggest LAN parties, has been around since 1996. The bring-your-own-controller event has always been a hotbed for arena shooter-style multiplayer, but it's also perched almost exactly halfway between summer events like E3 or Summer Game Fest and the holiday shopping season, making it ripe for ID and Bethesda to show off what they've been working on before their games hit store shelves. For example, leads from ID Software took the stage in 2018 to reveal extended gameplay for DOOM Eternal. Some fans expected the remaster since numerous clues hinted towards its existence. In June, IGN reported on a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/quake-2-remastered-rating-spotted-ahead-of-quakecon-2023']listing for 'Quake II Enhanced'[/URL] on a South Korean ratings board, which was initially spotted by [URL='https://www.gematsu.com/2023/06/quake-ii-remastered-rated-in-korea']Gematsu[/URL], in June.
