Check out that glorious reveal trailer below. Whether this will be enough to kindle interest in the rather niche genre of small and fast-paced arena shooters remains to be seen. Quake Champions was first revealed by Tim Willits at E3 2016. It looks like the success of these monetization systems in Fortnite and PUBG have convinced Bethesda and id Software.ДЄs explained in great detail in a news post, players of Quake Champions will now be able to unlock cosmetics by simply playing the game and completing daily and weekly challenges. ItвЂ™ll still remain free-to-play but now, players will be able to unlock cosmetic items, complete with a new progression system, with the introduction of a Free Reward System and Premium Battle Pass. With this monthвЂ™s big update, Quake Champions no longer will include controversial loot boxes. ItвЂ™s likely this failed attempt that brings us arguably the next major shake-up for the game. After an initial surge in players, user counts quickly began to dwindle down to its pre-F2P state. Maybe it was the decision to launch Quake Champions as a multiplayer-only title or as a PC-exclusive, but in the end, the game sadly didnвЂ™t manage to build a large player base worthy of the series.ДЄs such, Bethesda decided to transform Quake Champions into a free-to-play title this summer. With the smash-hit and return of Doom in 2016вЂ™s excellent reboot, things were looking bright for id Software to rekindle Quake once again. Overwatch, PUBG, Call of Duty long have taken over the reigns in the FPS genre. ItвЂ™s influence throughout the 1990s canвЂ™t be understated but decades later, Quake is really struggling to be relevant among gamers. ItвЂ™s been a long time since the Quake series has been one of the prime first-person shooter games on the market. The other big highlight is the new map Citadel. The evergreen Capture the Flag is now available as well as an Arcade Mode which aims to spice up how gamers play with weekly rotations of modifiers.
