Bethesda has released the E3 2017 screenshots a brand new trailer for id Software’s arena shooter, Quake Champions. Quake Champions is a return to the frenetic, fast-paced competition that established Quake as the originator of the multiplayer shooter genre more than 20 years ago.
Quake Champions delivers the dark mythos of the first Quake combined with the groundbreaking multiplayer mayhem of Quake III Arena with a major modern twist – Champions. These warriors each wield unique attributes and abilities, enabling players to compete in their own distinctive style, while adding an additional layer of strategy to the game.
Here are the game’s key features:
- The Next Great Quake Multiplayer Game
Quake’s signature rocket jumping, skill-based competition, and incredible speed remains intact, providing veterans with a welcome return and new players a fresh way to showcase their multiplayer skills. Players will frag enemies using a variety of powerful weapons while battling their friends in four competitive game modes, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Duel, and the team-focused Sacrifice. - Incredible, Diverse Champions
Quake Champions will introduce a roster of elite Champions, each equipped with unique attributes and abilities that are additive to Quake’s established gameplay. Champions are colorful, charismatic – and sometimes weird – and possess both an Active and Passive ability designed to enhance individual play styles. Players can choose a Champion based on abilities or style, from Quake vets like Ranger and Anarki, to newcomers like Clutch and Scalebearer. - Uncompromising Weapons, Ready for Battle
Quake III Arena’s devastating arsenal of flesh-chewing weaponry, including fan-favorites like the thunderous Rocket Launcher, electrifying Lightning Gun, and snipe-tastic Railgun are back along with the Shotgun, Machine Gun, and the ever-personable melee-masher, the Gauntlet. Players can also acquire classic versions of weapons, including the Quake 1 Rocket Launcher, the Quake 2 Railgun, and more. - Intense Game Modes
Established and beloved game modes return, including the gib-filled fragfests of Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch and the competitive fury of 1v1 Duel mode, while a new team-based mode, Sacrifice, joins the fray. Playing like a combination of Domination and Single Flag Capture the Flag, Sacrifice challenges players to work together, strategize, and dominate the arena. - Play for Free… Or Upgrade to the Champions Pack
Quake Champions will be available for free to all PC players, with all maps, modes, and weapons included, as well as an initial Champion, Ranger. Additional Champions will be available for trial and purchase individually. Players can alternatively choose to purchase the Champions Pack, a version that will include the full roster of Champions and additional, exclusive bonuses. Free players can upgrade to the Champions Pack at any time. Both free and paid players will be able to play all modes and maps, uniting paid and free players in a single, endless test of skill. - Your Champion, Your Style
Players can upgrade and customize armor appearance, vanity items, weapons, and more through a loot box-style system. These boxes can be earned by leveling up, purchased using in-game currency, or purchased through the in-game store for money.
Enjoy!

Good luck playing with those nails, girl.
another crappy esport to join the pack. it will die out in a few months after launch just like the rest. all pc gamers seam to care about in esports is over watch and cod every thing else will fail.
Yeah, just like that one game, the MOBA, what was it called……
Oh, right, League of Legends. Ever heard of it? It was this little something that never went on to become a big any- oh, wait.
Not to mention its cousin, DOTA 2. Sh*t, now there’s a game that never went anywhere if I ever saw one.
esports are crap mobas are garbage.esports are as toxic as the pc community is but hey thats how you like it right?..lmao…no thx.
Gameplay aside, Unreal tournament 3 (was it 3?) looked way better than this lol. I dont know why but it did. I hope this is fast enough at least…
$1,00,000 prize pool? Jesus, do they even give a sh*t if people end up hating the game?
Seriously, what, they’ve figured they can just bribe all the Quake eSporters into “approving” of their game, since they’re still rather split on it?
These aesthetics are starting to get really weird…….
Also, why is everyone in the trailer playing like a bunch of f*cking CoD noobs?
I feel like they are going to take this all the way to the e-sports crowd, rather than those who just want a new Quake arena shooter like myself. I honestly dislike the e-sports scene and I really wish the pubs would stop trying to chase the goldmine, as if it’s the only crowd that ever existed.
“I feel like they are going to take this all the way to the e-sports crowd”
They’re trying to, but at the same time they can’t stop trying to pander to casuals as well, so, as usual, it’s alienating the hardcore & only attracting so many casuals.
We’ve tried to explain, time & time again, that you can’t make an eSports game, the community makes it, but these f*ckers just don’t care, don’t understand, don’t want to listen, or think they know better. Either way, once it falls flat onto their faces, they’ll learn the hard way, just like everyone else before them did.
They think they can just craft an e-sports crowd out of thing air. I can tell that they see that crowd as the new whale goldmine, but e-sports moves on so rapidly and expires rather quickly, that their tactics won’t even matter in trying to control and create those events to generate the kind of income they expect to make.
