Past QuakeCon events have been primarily geared toward the Bethesda community, and there’s no reason to expect that’ll be any different year. People go there to have fun, show off cosplays, and get together with friends. While there are panels, it’s never been focused on news and showcase-type announcements.
With that said, that doesn’t mean there’ll benothingannounced. Past years have included looks at upcoming games like Doom Eternal, and just last year,id Software revealed Quake 2 Remastered, which launched the same day. It’s certainly possible some kind of remaster could be revealed, or we could see an update on another upcoming Bethesda game, likeIndiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Analysis: A cool tradition continues
I’m glad to see that QuakeCon will still be happening this year, as I know it’s important to a lot of people. I’ve never been able to go, but I would love to one year. It’ll be neat if there’s any tidbits of news announced, but my hunch is that upcoming Xbox showcase in June is going to be more substantial when it comes to big gaming news from the Bethesda Softworks side of the Xbox first-party family.
