‘Quake II’ Remaster Listed on Korea Media Ratings Board Website
After the Quake remaster that was leaked prior to its official announcement by Bethesda a few years ago, it’s apparently happening again, this time with Quake II. Thanks once again to the Korean Media Ratings Board (which has leaked games prior to their official announcements in the past), it would appear that the Quake II remaster is on the way.
While Bethesda hasn’t made any official announcement as of yet (or responded to the leak), similar to how they announced their Quake remaster, they very well could make things official at QuakeCon 2023, which will take place from August 10 to 13.
According to the listing, the only platform listed at the moment is PC, though it’s very likely that Quake II will be headed to consoles, as well. No other real details about the remaster are listed, though you can probably expect things like increased resolution, widescreen and controller support, dynamic lighting, and (hopefully) the inclusion of all of the official expansion packs.
It’s also not known if this version of the game will feature ray-tracing support, which was the case when the first RTX cards hit the scene, and Bethesda and Nvidia released Quake II RTX back in 2019. Nor is it known if those who already own the original Quake II on Steam will be getting a free upgrade.
Thanks to Gematsu for the heads up.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
