Everybody’s favorite spoiler, The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea, is at it again, this timeapparently lifting the lidon an incoming remaster of one of the most genre-defining shooters of all time, id Software’sQuake II.
While Activision is yet to officially announce said remaster, we have been here once before, as game ratings board previously leaked the remaster of the originalQuake, ahead of its official reveal at the annual gathering of all things id, QuakeCon. Given that QuakeCon 2023 is set to take place in a little over a month from now, it seems pretty snug thatQuake II Remasteredis scheduled to make its appearance.
Originally released in 1997, at the height of the second major FPS boom,Quake IIis a violent, sci-fi shooter that sees top-tier marine Bitterman fend off an entire alien invasion with an arsenal of bombastic weaponry. With its smart, interconnected stages, multiple player characters, and commitment to chaotic destruction,Quake IIwas highly praised by critics and fans, becoming a mainstay on the early online multiplayer circuit and boosting the Activision coffers long beforeCall of Dutywas even in consideration.
We will be sure to give you a heads-up when an official announcement is forthcoming. QuakeCon 2023 takes place at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas from August 10-13.
