Quake has received its second major update for Nintendo Switch.

The improved version of quake is easily one of the retro highlights of 2021, and it just keeps getting better, with Bethesda and its developers releasing the second major update for all platforms, including Nintendo Switch.

The highlight of ‘Update 2’ is the Horde mode, created by the team at MachineGames ( Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus ). This mode includes 1-4 player co-op as well as optional bots. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a new free add-on ‘Honey’: “an atmospheric journey through a mist-laden village with a dark secret beneath the surface.” Last but not least are some quality of life improvements and bug fixes.

QUAKE – UPDATE 2 POST NOTES

Update 2 contains a new Horde mode created by MachineGames with 1-4 player co-op (including optional bots), new “Honey” addon, some quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Quake launches on the Epic Games Store (for PC). With Horde mode you can play solo, with bots or friends, and take on waves of enemies of increasing difficulty. Earn silver keys to unlock access to better weapons. Survive long enough and earn a golden key, which will allow you to either escape, or stay behind and fight the Quake armies until you drop.
