Exciting news has leaked out from the South Korean age rating committee: a remastered version of the legendary video game Quake II is in the works. The highly anticipated announcement will be made at QuakeCon.

Many gamers around the world turned their attention to the South Korean age rating board when the fact sheet for the remastered Quake II suddenly appeared on their site. The link is no longer available, but previous experience suggests that this leak is likely a precursor to a big announcement.

The famous game development studio id Software, which created legendary games such as Wolfenstein and Doom, and then furthered its reputation with the creation of the Quake series, seems to be on the road to remaking classic games again. The third instalment in the Quake series has become deeply embedded in the gaming community, becoming the cornerstone of the modern multiplayer experience. However, Quake II is considered by many to be their favourite, as it had the most elaborate campaign.

Quake II debuted in 1997 and was available on consoles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, in addition to PC gamers. The game brought innovations such as the ability to crouch, a detailed campaign, and even peaceful NPCs.

News of Quake II Remastered first broke ahead of the 2023 QuakeCon event, similar to the case of Quake Remastered, which was announced in 2021. At this time, the exact release date and available platforms for the game are unknown, but based on leaks, details are likely to be revealed at QuakeCon.

This news is not just good news for Quake II fans, but for anyone looking forward to a reimagining of a truly classic gaming experience. Remastering by game developers often breathes new life into old favourites, and Quake II is no exception. Compared to the original version from 1997, we can expect to see modernised graphics, refined game mechanics and perhaps even more new features.

Id Software and Bethesda have yet to officially confirm the development of Quake II Remastered, but leaks on the South Korean Age Rating Committee site strongly suggest that a remastered version is indeed on the horizon. If previous patterns are anything to go by, it’s highly likely that an official announcement will be made at QuakeCon, which will take place between August 10 and 13 this year.

In the meantime, fans are already excited to see what new and modernised elements the remastered version of Quake II will bring. Will id Software be able to repeat the success of Quake Remastered and enchant players with a modernised classic? Time will tell!
