Quake Receives A Fresh Update With Machine Games Providing A New Horde Mode

Quake, which was re-released for modern consoles and PC back in August, is receiving even more love from the devs at Bethesda and Wolfenstein developer Machine Games with a new mode and content added with Update 2.

Update 2 is available today for all platforms. It contains a number of major fixes but, most importantly, a completely new Horde Mode. Developed by the team at Machine Games, Quakes Horde Mode pits teams of 1-4 local or online players (or bots!) You will be facing a horde of AI enemies across four new horde map. A boss will be present in every third wave, and he can cash in a silver keys to unlock more weapons and other equipment.

Also included in Update 2 is an add-on called Honey where you’ll “delve deep into the darkness to conquer a deadly plague infecting the land.” This is a brand new Quake experience by Christian Grawer, a senior designer at Machine Games.

Quake also makes its Epic Games Store debut today. If EGS is your preferred PC game launcher, you can pick it up right there. You can find the full contents of Update 2 here.
