It takes a pretty special video game to remain relevant and active after a single decade, but Quake 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<\/a> of brand new content. Dawn of the Machine is a free update that’s available today for Quake 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<\/a> 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<\/a>\u00a0today during Quakecon to discuss this latest chapter in the influential first-person shooter’s history.<\/p>\n As one of the titles that defined FPS gaming and more recently inspired the boomer shooter subgenre, it’s pretty cool to see Quake still getting love from players and devs after a whopping three decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dawn of the Machine expansion was made by MachineGames in collaboration with id Software.
