FPS fans are currently waiting in anticipation, peaking corners as their trigger fingers twitch on their controllers and WASD keys following the whispers of a remaster of Quake II scattered all over the internet. This latest revelation wasn't triggered by a grandiose press release, nor a flashy trailer - instead, the possibility of a revamp for the iconic FPS title from a listing on the South Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC).
The gaming world has somewhat come to expect these leaks from the GRAC, having previously spilled the beans on a new League of Legends game and even the remaster of the original Quake prior to its official launch at QuakeCon 2021.
Given this listing, it's only a matter of time before we hear more about Quake 2 Remastered with QuakeCon 2023 set for August 10-13.
Quake 2, the quintessential sequel that first exploded onto the scene in 1997, is long overdue for a modern touch, which is why long-time FPS fans are so excited.
The description listed for the game takes us on a nostalgic trip back to the brutal landscapes and relentless action that defined the original Quake 2. Set against the backdrop of an earth on the brink of invasion by the alien Strogg, the listing promises an FPS experience rich in "excessive expression of violence" and plenty of "blood and body damage". It's enough to set the heart of any retro-gaming enthusiast racing.
