It looks like owners of the original Quake game on Steam may be in for a big surprise as QuakeCon 2021 draws ever closer.
The SteamDB tracker, which gives users an insight into the mysterious goings-on on the Steam storefront’s backend, has picked up two updates to the original Quake game on Steam.
According to the history that’s being logged by the tracker, a new beta branch has been added to the game, as well as a new 64-bit executable. What could that mean? It could mean that we’re getting some sort of ray-tracing update to the original game (simiarly to what we’ve seen with Quake 2, previously) or it could mean that we’re getting a teaser for a whole new Quake project, too.
