3D Realms and 1C Entertainment have revealed their new first person shooter that will be powered by the Quake Engine. This new FPS is called WRATH: Aeon of Ruin, targets a Summer 2019 release and you can find below the first details, screenshots and a debut gameplay trailer.
WRATH promises to embrace the timeless elements of classic titles such as DOOM, QUAKE, DUKE NUKEM 3D, BLOOD, UNREAL and HEXEN and carries them into the 21st century.
In this new FPS you play as Outlander. Once adrift upon the Ageless Sea, you now find yourself on the shores of a dying world.
“From the consuming darkness emerges a figure cloaked in white, the Shepherd of Wayward Souls, who burdens you with the task of hunting down the remaining Guardians of the Old World. You must journey into the vast gloom to explore ancient ruins, discover forgotten secrets and battle the horrors that lurk within.”
Here are the game’s key features:
- Explore a vast world shrouded in darkness, passionately crafted by the hands of expert Quake scene necromancers.
- Traverse 3 hubs and 15 enormous, interconnected levels crawling with hordes of enemies, lore and ancient secrets.
- Forge your path with an arsenal of 9 deadly weapons, each with multiple fire modes.
- Know your enemy. Many horrors lurk in the shadows, thirsting for your blood.
- Artifacts of great power lay hidden in the dark places of the world. Find them and dominate your enemies.
- Powered by the Legendary Quake 1 Tech, WRATH is an authentic, classic FPS in every way.
- Capped at 666 fps, WRATH will melt your soul and your Voodoo 2… But it’s okay. Software Rendering is supported!
- Create your own worlds. WRATH is built from the ground up to be easily moddable. Make your own levels, weapons and characters. From day one, the very tools used to create WRATH will be available for all.
- Gib your friends in classic Multiplayer modes, powered by the renowned QuakeWorld netcode.
Dominate the world of WRATH with 3 other companions in 4 player co-op, LAN or online! - Immerse yourself in a haunting soundscape born from the twisted minds of Andrew Hulshult(Quake Champions, Rise of the Triad, Dusk and Amid Evil) and Bjorn Jacobson (CyberPunk 2077, Hitman, EVE Online).
Enjoy!

*DRANK, not DRUNK
sry had to correct it! We are all students for life! 🙂
Actually i prefer fantasy violent games than war themed games like BF and CoD, or CS with terrorists..
Dude, Hitler was a pretty cool guy!
Look at all the awesome things he did during his reign…what a man he was!
I don’t hate hitler at all. everything you find about him on the media is british/american propaganda. remember when they felt like they needed to invade afghanistan because of a saudi terrorist called osama bin laden? well they didn’t attack saudi arabia, they attacked afghanistan and they’re bff with saudi arabia even now which not only they (american government) held accountable for 9/11 but it is the birthplace of an ideology called wahabism which is an islamic sect that isis is based on. if you google it, you’ll find some fcked up shet.
the dumb shet they come up with like hitler being racist towards blacks is so stupid and rytarded that it hurts.
americans and british are programmed to accept that hitler was this mad little stupid racist evil guy from childhood just like muslims are programmed to believe whatever they believe in from their childhood.
west:
was hitler an evil dude? answer yes immediately otherwise you’re a fascist, racist and don’t belong in society.
middle east:
is allah real and the only god? answer yes immediately otherwise you get hanged.
So… ugly and probably still need corei5, 8gb ram 970 haha
it’s Quake 1 engine, should run 4k/60fps on a toaster no problem
I love these time machine games. Reminds me of the time when I started playing on PC.
“..
promises to embrace the timeless elements of classic titles such as..” nope, it’s a ripoff. my gosh.. weapons from unreal, monsters from quake and so on.. so sad.
This. Paying homage is quite different than ripping something off.
Plus, let’s not pretend parts of those ancient epics aren’t in every modern game now anyway…
I mean, gaming builds on each other. It’s just how it work.
Steam workshop support please?
Yup i cant see anything to criticize hear i am excited, but john wont you cover amc episode 3? I mean its only a 30hour plus oldschool shooter mod.
Looks cool, This kind of stuff bring a lot of good memories.

Neat, hopefully it delivers
https://www.moddb.com/games/the-amc-tc cover this john its the best oldschool fps campaign i hav ever player 30 hours long.
Welcome to 1995 people…
I’m liking the guns, the enemies are looking pretty goofy right now.
“Capped at 666 fps”
That’s a good sign if true, they didn’t bloat up the engine just because they could have. But in practice I’d want to limit the framerate to 333 or 166 to keep the computer quiet.
Better to have the game engine itself uncapped as high as possible. You can always use a lower limit via driver or software like RTSS.
I prefer an in-game option.
What do you think looks bad? I really like it, consisting what they’re going for.
I liked Bombshell and am liking Ion Maiden. I look forward to this.
O.K…I can get into this.
Retro looks, but not super low resolution, blurry or overly blocky. I like it.
Looks like a fun time.
I also like when then put higher quality lighting with the retro looking models. It works somehow.
Looking forward to some retro goodness.
Looks like a good Quake total conversion mod…and practially that’s what it is! Looking forward to it in any case coz who doesn’t like old-school fast shooters?!
