Quake 2 Remastered appears to be in the works after a rating for the unannounced shooter was spotted online.
Gematsu spotted the Quake 2 Remastered listing on the reliably leaky Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea. At the time of publication, the listing is still live, and confirms a release on PC. IGN has asked Bethesda for comment.
The listing describes Quake 2 Remastered as: “An FPS game that wages war against the hostile alien race, Strogg, who plans to invade the earth.” It includes “excessive expression of violence”, and “blood and body damage are frequently expressed in the process of fighting using weapons”.
The listing comes just weeks before QuakeCon 2023 kicks off August 10. As Gematsu pointed out, in 2021 the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea rated the remastered version of the original Quake ahead of its official announcement at QuakeCon 2021.
Quake Remastered released for PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, so it seems likely Quake 2 Remastered is set for PC and the full set of consoles, too. And given Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, Quake 2 Remastered will no doubt launch straight into Xbox Game Pass, as Quake Remastered did.
Quake 2 first launched in 1997. The Id Software first-person shooter continued the Quake storyline set out by its predecessor, and would go on to spawn two sequels and a number of spin-offs.
