I was never amazing at Quake, not like most of the original Mammoth/AusGamers/QGLers. Or Joab. But I damn appreciated the depth the game was played to by the punters, and with the debut gameplay trailer just emerging from QuakeCon, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it looks like it's definitely capturing the spirit of Quake 3 Arena.

id Software Studio Director Tim Willits took to the stage at QuakeCon 2016 to debut the first Quake Champions gameplay trailer. Packed with blazing-fast action and explosive rocket jumps you know and love, get first look at the game’s Champions – including new characters and franchise favorites.

In true Quake fashion, you’ll have an arsenal of powerful and unique weapons, each of which will feel familiar to long-time Quake players. There’s no loadouts, and no limit to the amount of guns you can carry. Quake Champions will be going into closed beta in 2017, so it won’t be too much longer before you’ll be able to get your hands on the heart-thumping arena-style FPS and see for yourself just how fast it is, running at 120hz with unlocked frame-rates.

We'll have much more on this badboy when our on-the-ground reporter files his content shortly, so stay tuned.
