“Quake II” is back! The refreshed classic is now available

The return of this iconic game in a remastered form has been rumored for some time. In June of this year, the Korean Game Rating and Administration Commission gave a rating to the then unannounced remaster, which was already a strong indication that “Quake II” is coming back. Yesterday, at Quakecon, the rumors became a fact: the game returns with improvements worthy of our time.

The studio that undertook the task of porting this FPS was Nightdive once again. They are among the few who can breathe new life into older games. They were responsible for porting the first “Quake” two years ago, so it’s no wonder that after such a commendable job and a warm reception by players, Bethesda entrusted them with the remaster of the sequel.

What improvements will we find in this version?
