The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated the unannounced Quake Remastered, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated Quake for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

The ESRB rating does not mention a remaster, however, both ratings are likely for the same game. QuakeCon 2021 starts today with an event at 11:05 am PT / 2:05 pm ET that is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Quake.

Here is an overview of the game via the ESRB:

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a soldier that travels through time to stop an evil force from destroying humanity. Players traverse through maze-like medieval enviornments and use shotguns, nail guns, and grenade launchers to kill various enemies (e.g., zombies, demonic forces, scorpions, humans) in frenetic run-and-gun combat. Battles are accompanied by gunfire sounds, screams of pain, and large explosions. Large blood-splatter effects occur frequently, and several attack cause enemies to explode into bloody chunks. Some areas depict mutilated body parts on the ground or falling from ceilings.

Let it be known that this is what Phil Spencer meant by "legacy" lol I can't WAIT though!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that once they see the success (if it's a good remaster) of this game that people really want a new Quake and we'll see another DOOM 2016!
