Bethesda announces Quake Champions, a return to id Software's Quake series of first-person shooters, saying this will feature fast-paced, arena-style gameplay and esports support. Here's a short trailer showing off the game, and the Quake website is now the online home to the project. Here is what they have to say about it for now:

The fast, skill-based arena-style competition that turned the original Quake games into multiplayer legends is making a triumphant return with Quake Champions. Running at an impressive 120hz with unlocked framerates, id Software’s new multiplayer shooter is getting ready to take PC gaming by storm once more.

Quake Champions features a roster of unique characters, each with their own distinctive abilities, giving every player a chance to play to their strengths. Get your first look at Quake Champions and some of its heroes in the cinematic reveal trailer, debuted during the BE3 2016 Showcase.

“20 years ago, Quake set new standards for multiplayer competition and pushed the boundaries for graphics and gameplay,” said Tim Willits, Studio Director, id Software. “It’s important to all of us at id Software that Quake Champions remains true to the Quake legacy, and delivers the speed and gameplay our longtime fans expect, while also pressing forward by introducing new gameplay opportunities with new Champions and abilities.”

Following its launch, Quake Champions will be supported at eSports tournaments around the world, including the annual QuakeCon, which takes place in Dallas. We’ll have more details to share about Quake Champions at this year’s QuakeCon, August 4–7, so keep an eye on Bethesda.net.
