“Updated and Enhanced” version of Quake is now available for PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One
For as popular as it was throughout the 1990s, id Software’s Quake never received the universal re-release push that Doom did. Sure, it popped up on the Saturn and the Nintendo 64 back in the day, but it’s been unavailable to current console players for the last 20 years.
That all changes today as Bethesda announced during the QuakeCon at Home kickoff that Quake is now available to download in a new “Updated and Enhanced” version for the PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Xbox Game Pass users on console and PC will also be able to download the influential shooter through their subscription. And if you already own Quake through Steam or Bethesda.net, you’ll receive the update for free.
The “Updated and Enhanced” version of Quake will provide players with widescreen resolution support (up to 4K), enhanced models, dynamic and color lightning, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and the complete soundtrack and theme song (which was composed by Trent Reznor). This package will also include Quake’s three expansions (The Scourge of Armagon, Dissolution of Eternity, and MachineGames’s Dimension of the Past), as well as a brand new episode, Dimension of the Machine, also created by MachineGames.
It wouldn’t be Quake without multiplayer deathmatch (and co-op), so players can also expect to find four-player online or local co-op, as well as eight-player (online) or four-player (local splitscreen) deathmatches, and cross-play between all platforms.
A physical edition of Quake for the PS4 and Switch will be available to pre-order through Limited Run Games beginning on Friday, August 27, at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time). The game will be sold as a Standard Edition ($29.99), Deluxe Edition ($79.99, with a Steelbook case, poster, keychain, and commemorative box), and Ultimate Edition ($174.99, with a shirt, a Quad Damage statue, a Shambler figure, a Nail Gun Ammo box, everything from the Deluxe Edition, and more).
And finally, a free PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade will available “soon” to give console players native 4K resolutions at 120 FPS. A trailer for the “Updated and Enhanced” version of Quake can be found after the break.
First Gameplay Trailer for Evil Dead: The Game is narrated by Bruce Campbell
Listen up you primitive screwheads, Bruce Campbell is here to narrate the first Gameplay Trailer for Evil Dead: The Game. And he’s bringing some new friends with him to fight the Deadites.
The previous trailer gave us a good look at Campbell’s Ash, as well as Kelly (played by Dana DeLorenzo), Arthur, and Scotty, but this new trailer fills out the gory co-op game’s roster even further. Fellow Ghostbeater Pablo (played by Ray Santiago) joins the fray, as does Cheryl Williams, Henry the Red, and Ash Vs Evil Dead‘s Amanda Fisher. And while it’s not technically a character, we’re also reintroduced to Ash’s Delta (and yes, you can drive it).
Ash and his friends will need to collect tapes left by Professor Knowby and obtain other artifacts from the franchise before they can attempt a spell to banish the Deadites from the world. But players on the other side of this PvP game will get to control monstrous entities like Evil Ash, Eligos, and the Kandarian Demon (the unseen “Force” from the earlier films) in their quest to swallow your soul.
Evil Dead: The Game is currently in development at Saber Interactive, and it’ll launch later this year for the PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
Tribute Games will bring back classic TMNT team with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon went off the air more than two decades ago, but the characters never really went away thanks to multiple new adaptations over the years. But you can’t keep a good turtle down, and the TMNT team from the 1987-1996 series is coming back in a new game from Dotemu and Tribute Games.
Dotemu is rather well known as the publisher who resurrected the Streets of Rage franchise last year, while Tribute Games has spent the last decade cranking out retro tributes like Mercenary Kings, Flinthook, and Panzer Paladin.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will play to both their strengths as a side-scrolling beat ’em up with a look and feel that was heavily inspired by Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time:
With Bebop and Rocksteady amassing gizmos to support Krang and Shredder’s latest scheme, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge finds the turtles battling through a breathless tour of iconic TMNT locations to thwart their nemeses’ most diabolical plan yet. Armed with shell-shocking new abilities built on a foundation of classic brawling mechanics, the gang are in for an exhilarating, Foot Clan-stomping romp leading them through the sewers and bustling boroughs of New York City all the way to Dimension X.
We don’t know when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will be released, but we do know that it’s coming to PC and consoles. In the meantime, the first trailer for the game, complete with a new rendition of the TMNT theme performed by Mike Patton of Faith No More, has been embedded above.

Evil Dead: The Game is a co-op game that pits Ash (and friends) versus the Deadites
Bruce Campbell, the legendary actor who has given wild-eyed life to Ash for more than 40 years, has been teasing the existence of a brand-new game based on the Evil Dead franchise for a few years now. Last night, we finally got our first peek at Evil Dead: The Game during the 2020 Game Awards.
While Ash normally battles the forces of evil alone, Evil Dead: The Game is set to be a co-op brawler that pits a team of survivors against an onslaught of Deadites. The Announcement Trailer shows Kelly (from Ash Vs Evil Dead), Arthur (from Army of Darkness), and Scotty (from The Evil Dead) fighting alongside Campbell, though we don’t yet know if Dana DeLorenzo, Marcus Gilbert, or Richard DeManincor will reprise their roles for the game.
Players will also get the chance to possess survivors as the unseen force behind the Kandarian Demon in a PvP multiplayer mode:
Work together as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, crafting, managing your fear, and finding key artifacts to seal the breach between worlds. Or take control of the powerful Kandarian Demon to hunt Ash and his friends while possessing Deadites, the environment, and even the survivors themselves as you seek to swallow their souls!
Plenty of surprises await in this gore-filled battle against evil that captures the characters, horror, humor, and action from the franchise. Battle across memorable locations including the infamous cabin in the woods, brought to life with tons of terrifying visuals and all-new dialogue from Bruce Campbell. Discover more than 25 weapons, including Ash’s Gauntlet, Boomstick, and chainsaw, and advance in a variety of skill trees to grow stronger and survive in this fun co-op and PvP experience.
Evil Dead: The Game is currently in development at Saber Interactive, and it’ll be published by Boss Team Games in 2021 for the PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X.

Kombat Pack 2 will add Rambo, Rain, and Mileena to Mortal Kombat 11
“Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don’t turn it off!”
Rambo has been waging his own personal war on the silver screen for almost 40 years, but he’ll take the fight to Mortal Kombat 11 this Fall thanks to his inclusion in the game’s next expansion. Fully voiced by Sylvester Stallone, Rambo’s appearance in Kombat Pack 2 will be flanked by two additional kombatants… franchise favorites Mileena and Rain.

First Gameplay Trailer for Transformers: Battlegrounds confirms October 23 launch date
Outright Games has unveiled the first Gameplay Trailer for Transformers: Battlegrounds, giving us our first glimpse at a tactical strategy game that’s more than meets the eye.
Featuring the voice cast and character designs from Transformers: Cyberverse, players will take control of an Autobot squadron and fight to keep Megatron and the Decepticons away from the powerful Allspark:
As evil Megatron closes in on the Allspark, Bumblebee and the Autobots need a new commander to help save Earth – you! Assemble your squad and roll out for a battle that will rage from Central City to Cybertron… and even to the local multiplayer arcade!
Transformers: Battlegrounds is currently in development at Coatsink, and will be available on store shelves on October 23 for the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and as a digital download for the PC through Steam. The developer is also preparing a Digital Deluxe Edition that’ll add four Autobot Skin Packs and the Cube game mode to the standard package.
Rise of the Triad Remastered will be released for PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One in 2021
3D Realms might seem like a name from another era, especially after Duke Nukem Forever‘s protracted development seemingly doomed the company to obscurity. But its output from 1996 through 2001 (which includes Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Max Payne) was groundbreaking at the time, and is still fondly remembered today.
So it shouldn’t be surprising that while its a bit smaller nowadays, the publishing house has continuously kept the lights on since its founding in 1987 as Apogee Software.
It’s true, 3D Realms never really went away, and they’re even looking to expand in 2020. As part of this plan, they hosted Realms Deep, a virtual convention dedicated to their current projects. Possibly the biggest announcement to come out of Realms Deep this weekend was the reveal of Rise of the Triad Remastered.
Rise of the Triad was originally conceived as a sequel to id Software’s Wolfenstein 3D, but the developer canceled the contract in 1993 to keep players focused on Doom, which launched that December. So 3D Realms rebuilt Rise of the Triad into an original title and released it on their own in 1995. In the years since, the game has developed a loyal (but very small) cult following.
Frederik Schreiber, the current Vice President of 3D Realms, introduced the Remastered re-release in the trailer embedded above, and promised that it’ll be a “brand new source port” for the PC, PlayStation (presumably the PS4), Switch, and Xbox (presumably the Xbox One). The game will also include widescreen support, mouse look, and a revamped multiplayer mode.
Rise of the Triad Remastered will be co-developed by 3D Realms and Destructive Creations, and it’ll be available in 2021.
