Despite the brevity of the 2024 Xbox Developer Direct, significant revelations emerged from the event. Beyond the impressive Indiana Jones trailer showcased, there’s a possibility that an extraordinary detail might have gone unnoticed – the potential existence of Quake 6, and yes, this is not a jest.
Quake 6 Hinted in Indiana Jones Trailer?
While engrossed in the captivating reveal of Indiana Jones, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a Quake 6 Easter egg at a specific moment in the trailer. The developer’s planner board prominently featured “Quake 6” written at the far-left corner, sparking curiosity among the audience.
According to various sources, Quake 6 could potentially be a codename for the next installment in the Quake game series. Given that the 5th edition was titled Quake Champions and proved to be a successful addition to the franchise, this discovery raises speculation about what the future holds.
If we consider Quake Champions as the 5th game in the Quake series, MachineGames might be subtly teasing the continuation of the narrative. Furthermore, Quake Champions primarily focused on a free-to-play multiplayer experience. In light of this, there’s anticipation that Quake 6 may delve into the storyline from Quake 4, picking up where it left off in 2005.
In 2021, industry insider Shpeshal Nick hinted at Quake 6 potentially being a remastered version of the acclaimed franchise. As an enthusiast of FPS games, this revelation is particularly exciting, especially given the success of the Quake 2 remaster in 2023.
Considering Bethesda’s subsidiaries, id Software and MachineGames, have already delivered compelling FPS experiences through the reboot of Wolfenstein and DOOM, expectations are high for what they can achieve with Quake 6. The fusion of id Software’s multiplayer expertise with MachineGames’ strong storytelling could create a perfect blend. There’s even speculation that Quake 6 might become a major player, surpassing the Call of Duty franchise for Microsoft.
The tease of Quake 6 in the Indiana Jones trailer has stirred anticipation. Are you looking forward to a remastered version, or do you anticipate an entirely new storyline for the Quake franchise? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
