Quake Champions Opening 10 Reliquarys
Quake Champions is a PC-exclusive, multiplayer-only game, described as a "competitive arena-style, character-based shooter."[2] The game will be based on the gameplay of Quake III and Quake Live, while taking inspiration from the original Quake for its visual design. The selectable characters (referred to as "champions") all have passive abilities (e.g. extra speed),[1] and active abilities (e.g. ghost walking)[3] but the core style of gameplay remains the same.[1] Active abilities have a cooldown that lasts roughly 30-45 seconds; the specific length varies by champion.[3] The abilities are based on a rock-paper-scissors system, where certain abilities have natural counters. It is up to players to discover which champions work best together.[4] Over a dozen champions are expected to be playable when the beta launches.[5] It is intended that, abilities aside, player skill will be the determining feature.[3]
Loadouts do not feature.[1] The game will feature leagues and ranks, and its modes will include duels and deathmatch, but also team-based play. The game is intended to have an e-sports presence, and to become an event at QuakeCon.[6] Because of the presence of abilities, Quake Champions will have more of an emphasis on team-based modes rather than 1v1 or free-for-all gameplay, when compared to Quake III.
The game also features character customization such as hats and weapon skins [7]
The gameplay allows rocket jumping.[6]
