Bethesda releases Quake's 30th-anniversary campaign chapter 'Dawn of the Machine' by MachineGames, adding 19 maps with a time-loop mechanic, teleportation gimmicks, rune-based progression, and new enemies and weapons; the content is free for owners of the Quake remaster, continuing a renaissance for the classic shooter amid layoffs at id Software.
To celebrate its 30th birthday, the original Quake receives Quake: Dawn of the Machine, a free 19-map expansion with a new soundtrack and a new deathmatch map across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch (excluding Epic Games Store and GOG). Developed by id Software in collaboration with MachineGames, the expansion introduces looping, roguelike-style campaigns with persistent health/ammo upgrades, reimagined foes and weapon variants like the Super Axe and Laser Cannon. Digital Foundry praised its balance and modern enhancements, while the launch comes amid id Software's recent restructuring.
