The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated the unannounced Quake Remastered.

Additionally, the Entertainment Software Rating Board has rated Quake for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Here is its description of the title:

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a soldier that travels through time to stop an evil force from destroying humanity. Players traverse through maze-like medieval enviornments and use shotguns, nail guns, and grenade launchers to kill various enemies (e.g., zombies, demonic forces, scorpions, humans) in frenetic run-and-gun combat. Battles are accompanied by gunfire sounds, screams of pain, and large explosions. Large blood-splatter effects occur frequently, and several attack cause enemies to explode into bloody chunks. Some areas depict mutilated body parts on the ground or falling from ceilings.

Despite the Entertainment Software Rating Board rating not carrying the “Remastered” subtitle, both ratings are likely for the same title.

QuakeCon 2021 will run from today to August 21. The opening event, scheduled for 11:05 a.m. PT / 2:05 p.m. ET today, is a celebration of Quake‘s 25th anniversary.

Additionally, a now-deleted description for August 20’s “Let’s Talk Quake” panel previously read, “Quake is back, in this special stream John Linneman from Digital Foundry talks to Jerk Gustafsson of Machine Games about the title’s iconic legacy and what it meant to both of them. The pair will also discuss the additional content Machine Games have contributed to this revitalized edition.

I have never played a Quake game. Seems like a good time to do so. 

 

It seems there is going to be a PS5 version also by what the description says on the Store.

This is *SO* absolutely incredibly EXCITING! I am so happy right now! ? Never expected one of my old DOS-era FPS franchise favorites to be put on the PS4.

 

Quake II was my first Quake, never finished the first one. Quake III Arena was also incredible though mostly Deathmatch only ?

 

And it has trophies?! 99% single player too! This is as cool as when they released Doom I and II on the PS4. Imagine if they did Hexen or Heretic next?

 

Anyway, this might be the reason I suddenly put down Hades. Have fun everyone, can't wait to hear some Trent Reznor soundtrack! ?

I just got it today. Both this and Quake 2 are much better than Quake 4. Q4 doesn't have the same fast paced gameplay. Should Heretic or Hexen 1 or 2 show up on PSN, I'll buy them again on PS4. Heretic 2 would be another good one- though it's not an FPS like the first, and there is a bit more platforming, it's still a good game.

 

Let's hope if there's a Quake 2 that the PS5 version gets RTX (ray-tracing).

PSA: on PC, it's free for owners of the old Steam and Bethesda Launcher (only these, not GOG) versions. Even the free version that was given away last year is eligible. You could even switch between versions.
