Baldur's Gate III is arguably the game of the summer, and it isn't even out on consoles yet. Developer Larian Studios has taken a "it'll be out when it's ready" approach to releasing the game on various platforms. After becoming an instant hit on Windows when it came out of early access earlier this month, Baldur's Gate III will land on PlayStation 5 and macOS on September 6th. The exact Xbox release date is still unclear, but Larian has finally confirmed the massive RPG will come to Microsoft's consoles later this year.
Quake 2 remaster could be announced at this year’s QuakeCon
04.08.2023 - 19:09 / destructoid.com / John Romero
Not only can you get Quake 2 (as well as other classic FPS games) for cheap at the moment, but there’s a rumor that a remaster of id Software’s classic could be announced soon. If you thought the era of remakes, remasters, and reboots was over, think again.
Speculation comes from a report on Dealabs (via VGC). The leaker says that, having gained access to some evaluation documents, a remaster of Quake 2 could be getting announced at this year’s QuakeCon.
The event is scheduled to run from August 10 to August 13, so news about this supposed reimagining of the 1997 shooter could be just over the horizon. The report from Dealabs goes on to say that “enhanced” and “remastered” are being tossed around to describe the alleged project, as well as giving information about potential platforms.
Thanks to the video game rating board in Korea, we’ve already been made aware that Quake 2 could be making a comeback. We still don’t know whether this is happening, but it’s bound to stir up plenty of fans, especially the older ones.
While Quake 2 was a phenomenal hit when it released more than two and half decades ago, it did represent a bit of a shift for the developer. It was the first game the studio made without John Romero, so his influence is not to be found.
It was also a complete tonal shift from the original Quake. The first game had a darker and more gothic (almost horror) aspect about it, while the follow-up was much more “space marine”, sci-fi action, with splashes of brown and gray.
Hopefully, we’ll know more about this supposed Quake 2 remaster (or “enhanced” version), but for now, reel in those expectations until official confirmation.
