Quake was a first-person shooter video game, developed by id Software and published by GT Interactive in 1996. It was the successor to id software’s Doom series. Quake, however, offered full real-time 3D rendering and included early support for 3D acceleration through OpenGL. It was one of the first games with various multiplayer options.

There have also been rumors of a new Wolfenstein game, possibly called The New Colossus. Quake Champions was featured at Bethesda's E3 2016 showcase. The latest game in the franchise will be directed by Tim Willits, who has had a role in every Quake game that id Software has developed. Bethesda promises that there will be a Quake Champions tournament at QuakeCon, August 4^th-7^th in Dallas, Texas. The game will feature a roster of new characters with their own distinctive abilities and strengths.
