Key Features:The Next Great #quake Multiplayer GameQuake’s signature rocket jumping, skill-based competition, and incredible speed remains intact, providing veterans with a welcome return and new players a fresh way to showcase their multiplayer skills.

Quake vets like Ranger and Anarki, to newcomers like Clutch and Scalebearer.
Uncompromising Weapons, Ready for BattleQuake III Arena’s devastating arsenal of flesh-chewing weaponry, including fan-favorites like the thunderous Rocket Launcher, electrifying Lightning Gun, and snipe-tastic Railgun are back along with the Shotgun, Machine Gun, and the ever-personable melee-masher, the Gauntlet. Players can also acquire classic versions of weapons, including the
#quake 1 Rocket Launcher, the
#quake 2 Railgun, and more.
Intense Game ModesEstablished and beloved game modes return, including the gib-filled fragfests of Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch and the competitive fury of 1v1 Duel mode, while a new team-based mode, Sacrifice, joins the fray.
