Quake celebrates its 30th anniversary with a new free episode
The Dawn of the Machine expansion was made by MachineGames in collaboration with id Software.
Quake, the legendary first-person shooter game, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the release of a new free episode titled Dawn of the Machine. Developed by MachineGames in collaboration with id Software, the expansion adds a 19-map campaign, a new soundtrack, and a new Deathmatch map to the game. The studio behind recent hits like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the rebooted Wolfenstein series worked on this content.
The expansion also introduces a time loop mechanic and new variants of familiar Quake enemies and weapons. Quakecon hosted a livestreamed panel discussion featuring industry veterans, including id Software co-founder John Romero, to discuss this milestone in the game's history. Quake, which has been a defining title in first-person shooter gaming since its inception, continues to garner attention and appreciation from both players and developers after three decades.
