When it comes to classic shooters,Quake,Half-Life,andDoomsit up there as examples that really shook up and helped shape the genre. In fact, the former, along with id Software’s previous release, has gone down asone of the most influential FPS games ever made. To this day, people still playQuake,and perhaps what helps to keep it going despite its age is the fact that there are still custom mods being made for it.
According to a report from PCGamesN, there is another add-on being built for the classic first-person shooter. Being developed by József Pajor, who prefers to go by the moniker Adam, thisQuakemod will turn the game into a third-person action title. A video shows it in action, and many will agree that it makes the 1996 release look and play more likeElden Ringor pretty much any other FromSoftware title.

Speaking to PCGamesN, Adam said he is looking to turn the FPS into something more Souls-like with someCastlevaniainfluences thrown into the mix. The first thing that many will notice is the change of perspective, with a stronger focus on melee combat. The fact that thisupcomingQuakemodleans towards something likeDark Souls,Elden Ring,orCastevaniais an interesting take on the game, but some may not be too bewildered by the mash-up. If there’s one thing these games have in common, it’s their dark and gothic aesthetic.
Upon its release back in February,Elden Ringwent down asone of the highest rated video games of all time. It currently has a Metacritic score of 96, putting it on par with the likes ofMass Effect 2andThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Given the sheer popularity of FromSoftware’s game, as well as the iconic status ofQuake, it’s not surprising that someone is currently working on bringing these two beloved titles together.
While there were other games in the series, most consider the originalQuakefrom 1996 to be the most classic. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a new entry since 2005. However, withid Software hiring recently, some will wonder whether this means there will be a brand-new game, a reboot, or another entry in theDoomfranchise. There’s no telling what the developer is currently working on, but at least there are plenty of mods out there for people who want to add a little something different to this influential gothic shooter.
Quakewas originally released in 1996 and is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
