Quake is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and to mark the occasion, MachineGames and id Software made a new announcement during the QuakeCon livestream. Unfortunately for fans, it wasnβt the unveiling of a new game in the Quake series, but the news is still good β players have received a new, completely free batch of classic content in the form of the βDawn of the Machineβ episode, which is available in the Quake remaster.

The new episode features 19 all-new missions that make up a full-fledged story campaign filled with both familiar and new enemies. This isnβt MachineGamesβ first time creating content for Quake β the studio also worked on the remaster and has released add-ons since its launch.
“As the battle-hardened Ranger, players survive a labyrinthine dimension where time folds back onto itself, creating a unique looping structure where each visit in the present reshapes the future,” said the development teams today about this release. “Collect runes to unlock previously sealed paths brimming with new routes, encounters and secrets, plus persistent health and ammunition upgrades throughout add a new layer of progression to Quakeβs classic gameplay.”
