To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the legendary shooter, Bethesda has released Dawn of the Machine, a new free expansion for the original Quake. Developed by MachineGames in collaboration with id Software, this massive update adds a brand-new episode to the game.
What’s included in Dawn of the Machine:
19 new single-player maps
New locations for Deathmatch mode
New enemies and weaponry
An all-new soundtrack
The story follows the nameless Ranger, who finds themselves trapped in a dimension of nightmarish, infinite illusions. Players must hunt down a mysterious, horrific machine to break the cycle of visions once and for all.
The developers are also hosting a special livestream to dive deeper into the project, featuring industry icons John Romero and Marty Stratton.
Following the legacy of previous anniversary releases like Dimension of the Past (20th) and Dimension of the Machine (25th), this latest chapter is available for free to all owners of Quake on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
