Back in June, a rating for Quake II Remastered appeared via the South Korean Game Rating Committee, indicating that the game would potentially land on modern consoles in the coming months.

Now, adding fuel to the fire, notable leaker @billbil_kun has stated that the game will indeed be revealed at the upcoming QuakeCon 2023 celebrations commencing on August 10th, 2023. They state that the game will simply be called Quake II, removing 'Remastered' from the title entirely, and will likely be announced on the first day of the four-day event.

These fresh details have supposedly come to light from ratings via the ESRB and PEGI, which have not yet been made public. According to @billbil_kun, Quake II will be made available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Naturally, it's also likely that it'll be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

Originally released in 1997 and developed by FPS veteran id Software, Quake II eventually made its way to the N64 in 1999. In our review of the release, we said it was "worth experiencing if you miss the glory days of the arena multiplayer shooter", awarding it a score of 7/10.
