Following the team\u2019s work on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants DLC, Lead Level Designer Andrew Yoder at MachineGames approached the studio\u2019s Game Director Jerk Gusfafsson about an expansion for Quake. Gustafsson, Yoder and the rest of the team that worked on similar projects \u2013 dubbed internally as Quake Club \u2013 set forth three major goals for what would become Dawn of the Machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">First and foremost, of course, was celebrating Quake\u2019s 30th anniversary. \u201cWe wanted to create something that felt authentic to the spirit of the original game: Horror! Action! Madness!\u201d says Yoder. As such, players will face deadly twists on familiar entries from Quake bestiary such as the Rocket Ogre, Demo Dog, and Blood Shambler, rising to the challenge with new weapon variants like ricochet-blasting Laser Cannon and the lightning-infused Super Axe for classic, fast-paced Quake carnage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55443315682_999aedd810_3k.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55443315682_999aedd810_3k.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The second goal the team pursued was giving veteran Quake players a new experience. Previous Quake episodes released by MachineGames alongside id Software, such as Call of the Machine and Dimension of the Machine, featured a traditional hub structure which reset the player\u2019s progression between major areas. Instead, Dawn of the Machine has players battle through a continuous episode with continuous progression, which according to Yoder provided the team with \u201ca challenge, requiring much more coordination and iteration to create.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">To set the stage for its design, Dawn of the Machine has players back in the boots of Quake\u2019s battle-hardened protagonist Ranger as he escapes an illusory dimension where time folds back onto itself. As the looping cycle of time progresses, so too will players as they discover ways to break the loop, uncover upgrades to their health and ammunition supplies and eventually take down The Nightmare Machine, the source of Ranger\u2019s planar prison. \u201cNothing you see can be trusted,\u201d says Yoder, \u201cbut there is a path to break through the illusion, defeat the schemes of the outer gods and escape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55444279276_d94e4e18ce_4k.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55444279276_d94e4e18ce_4k.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">An early boss battle concept (left), plus early level plans (right) for what would become The Matriarch of Decay. Both underwent significant iteration during the production of Dawn of the Machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The third goal in developing Dawn of the Machine was allowing the multifaceted and multitalented team at MachineGames and id Software to exercise their skills collaboratively on a smaller project compared to a modern AAA video game project. Some members of the Quake Club have made their own maps since the game\u2019s release in \u201896 while others, including Yoder, have joined in more recently, making Quake Club a place for anyone on the team to contribute something to the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cQuake Club has always been an opportunity for the team to learn and have fun,\u201d says Yoder, adding that high-quality modding tools and Quake\u2019s relative visual simplicity to the photorealism of modern day AAA titles allow team members to pitch in their expertise, even for tasks normally outside their area of specialization.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55443315642_7c87c5d6e5_3k.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55443315642_7c87c5d6e5_3k.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As one example, Dawn of the Machine\u2019s new soundtrack came about from an offer from Christian Plogfors, Advanced Level Designer at MachineGames. In addition to contributing two levels to the episode, Plogfors created a soundtrack with a dark, ambient tone expertly suited to the trippy, ethereal world of the expansion. \u201cChristian proceeded to make a fantastic set of tracks that give the episode its own identity,\u201d says Yoder. \u201cThe whole episode is so much stronger thanks to his contribution, stepping outside his normal role and bringing his other skills and passions to serve the project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55443315672_bd117c96c9_3k.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55443315672_bd117c96c9_3k.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Reflecting on 30 years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/games\/quake\/\">Quake<\/a>, Yoders says the opportunity to make Dawn of the Machine has been a privilege. \u201cThe team here owes a lot to Quake and its legacy,\u201d he says, \u201cQuake Club and our work wouldn\u2019t exist without the wider Quake community and our friends at id Software.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2026\/08\/06\/celebrate-30-years-of-quake-with-a-brand-new-episode-available-today\/\">Go to Source (PlayStation.com)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1996, id Software smashed through to another dimension \u2013 in one sense of the word, pioneering first-person shooters in the third dimension with the release of Quake, and in another, hurtling players feet-first into Quake\u2019s otherworldly realm \u2013 a place beyond our reality where kinetic combat and a moody eldritch setting took FPS players<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":74202,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,4,7],"tags":[15,14694],"class_list":["post-74201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-featured","category-new-releases","category-playstation","tag-playstation","tag-playstation-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Celebrate 30 years of Quake with a brand-new episode, available today | Xtreme Servers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"View Celebrate 30 years of Quake with a brand-new episode, available today for free, here on XtremeServers.
