Quake 30th Anniversary Brings a Free 19-Map Brutal Campaign Launch
Announcement of the Quake 30th Anniversary Free Campaign Launch
Quake's 30th anniversary is approaching, and to celebrate, MachineGames has released a new expansion pack called "Dimension of the Machine." This expansion pack includes a complete campaign consisting of 19 maps with the original soundtrack and new deathmatch maps.
Dimension of the Machine retains small details like the difficulty selection in the game's opening, just like Quake. However, it breaks away from the traditional hub-based expansion pack design of previous MachineGames titles and features new variant enemies and a linear structure that drives Dimension of the Machine.
Graphics Advancements and Atmosphere
Compared to the original Quake, Dimension of the Machine introduces colored lightmaps, a graphical feature from Quake 2 that was not present in the original. Each level features a completely new skybox, and according to reports, the atmosphere of Dimension of the Machine is just as intense and immersive as its predecessors.
Purchase Information and How to Play
To use Dimension of the Machine, you must own the latest version of Quake, the id Software classic re-released in 2021 by Nightdive Studios. The game is currently on sale for 60% off on Steam for $3.99, and the entire Quake series can be purchased for $11.18 before August 13th. A free additional episode with content developed by MachineGames is also included in the latest Doom and Doom 2 compilations, currently selling for $3.99.
Console Support and Cross-Platform Play
In addition to the Steam and PC Game Pass versions of Quake ported by Nightdive Studios, console ports of Quake will also receive a free update with Dimension of the Machine. Thanks to the collaboration between id Software, MachineGames, and Nightdive, no one who owns the current version is excluded from the celebration.
Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One console users can also access the 19 new maps, and the Dimension of the Machine campaign supports cross-platform cooperative play.
