Quake Champions gunning for esports with competitive team and 1v1 modes, free characters


Bethesda’s upcoming shooter Quake Champions is being built with competitive play in mind, according to id Software’s Tim Willits.

Speaking in an interview with Goodgame.ru (translated via ESR), the executive director spoke about how the game’s Sacrifice and Duel modes are being built for competitive team and solo play, respectively.

Sacrifice is described by Willits as an “objective-based game mode” and that developers are working with pro players on the mode. Quake Champions will also bring back the 1v1 Duel, a skill-based mode. There isn’t much in the way of 1v1 offerings in the competitive FPS landscape right now, so it will be interesting to see how the mode is received.
