New official 30th anniversary Quake mission pack adds new maps and mechanics

19 new maps continue the story from MachineGames' other campaign additions.

New official 30th anniversary Quake mission pack adds new maps and mechanics

On the 30th anniversary of Quake's launch, Bethesda has introduced a new campaign chapter titled "Dawn of the Machine." This development is part of a series of campaign chapters created in collaboration with id Software by MachineGames. MachineGames, famed for their recent Wolfenstein reboot series, along with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, has crafted these new Quake maps.

The maps were designed by a team known as "Quake Club," consisting of MachineGames members who develop Quake maps in their leisure time. These maps are remarkable for their ambition and scope, surpassing typical Quake maps from the late '90s. This achievement is largely due to the team's utilization of Trenchbloom, a modern map editor that proves to be more efficient and versatile than the editors of the past.
