Trailer

Quake Champions, a new competitive shooter from id Software, was announced at E3 2016. To the cheers of the crowd, the famous studio unveiled the first cinematic trailer, showcasing the bloody battles between the game's characters.

Quake Champions is positioned as the successor to the Quake series, and more precisely, their multiplayer part. The game is a whirlwind arena shooter. Unlike its predecessors, the characters in the new game from id Software are different and have unique abilities, and the game, accordingly, belongs to the class-based FPS genre. Local heroes are called Champions, hence the name of the game. Supporters of classless shooters should not despair - classic DM, where all heroes are equal, is also announced.

The dynamics and old-school hardcore from Quake Champions are so rushing. Crazy speed, legendary rocket jumps and player skill - that's what the developers rely on. On this moment Quake Champions is announced only for the PC platform.

The developers of Quake Champions have released an update that added a new Capture the Flag mode and a new map, Citadel. The game also introduced free and premium Battle Passes and changed the balance of some champions and weapons.

New mode: Capture the Flag (CF)

In Capture the Flag mode, two teams compete in a match.
The team that manages to steal the enemy flag and bring it to their base gets a point.
Your team's flag must be at your base.
The match is divided into two halves. After the first half, the teams switch bases.
The team that captures the most flags at the end of the match wins.
If the teams captured the same number of flags, the winner is determined by the sum of points.
Compatible maps: Burial Chamber, Church of Azathoth, Citadel, Lockbox, Tempest Shrine.

New Map: Citadel

Developer Comment:
“Inspired by the classic map for the ZF mode Stonekeep from Quake Live, we spent a long time testing this map on the PTS to release Capture the Flag in combination with the ideal map for this mode - Citadel. This is the most symmetrical map we've ever created. It is divided into two equal halves, red and blue, and at its hottest point, above the jump pad installed in the center, a powerful boost appears. We hope you enjoy this new product! We can't wait to see what tricky routes you and your teammates will create in this new corner of the realm of dreams!"

Free and Premium Battle Passes

Developer Comment:
We're excited to introduce the Free and Premium Battle Passes, which reward players by earning XP in matches and completing Daily and Weekly Challenges. A sea of great rewards awaits you, including a very tasty morsel at level 100 - the Grave Digger machine gun!
