Quake Champions (2022)
Developed by id Software, in conjunction with Saber Interactive, Quake® Champions is a fast-paced arena shooter that combines the dark mythos of the original Quake with the skill-based competition of Quake III Arena, and then adds a twist—Champions, each with unique attributes and abilities for you to master. Key Features Fast-paced Arena Combat Quake’s signature rocket jumping, skill-based competition, and incredible speed remains intact, providing veterans with a welcome return and new players a fresh way to showcase their multiplayer skills. Incredible, Diverse Champions Quake Champions introduces 16 elite Champions, each equipped with unique attributes and abilities to fit your play style. The entire roster of Champions can be unlocked within the game. Uncompromising Weapons, Ready For Battle Quake’s devastating arsenal of flesh-chewing weaponry, including fan-favorites like the thunderous Rocket Launcher, electrifying Lightning Gun, and snipe-tastic Railgun are back alongside new additions for you to master. Intense Game Modes Established and beloved game modes return, including the gib-filled fragfests of Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch and the competitive fury of 1v1 Duel mode, while a new team-based mode, Sacrifice, joins the fray.
