What We Know About Quake 2 Remastered
Well, we know it’s on PC as well as Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. We also know it’s available for PlayStation 4 as well as PlayStation 5. Nintendo Switch owners will also get to enjoy the iconic first-person shooter. Windows Central described it as “featuring proper 16:9 support, 4K graphics, and high framerates”. They also say “this is a fantastic way for new players and veterans alike to jump in and try out what was originally going to be a new IP before id Software changed it to a Quake sequel at the last minute. It’s also the first big narrative-focused game developed by id Software, making it something of a unique inflection point for the series and the studio”. Now, will we see Quake 3 Arena receive the same treatment in the future? Also, could we see consoles get Quake Champions? There is also Quake 4 and other spin-off titles like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Check out the release trailer below and let us know if you will be picking up Quake II.
