Yiihaaaaw! Az id Software, Raven Software és az Activision bejelentette, hogy a Quake 4 gold-ra került, azaz elkészült a sorozatgyártáshoz használt master példány. Részletek:``We are pleased to announce that QUAKE 4 for the PC is done, and will begin shipping on Tuesday, October 18th! The game will be arriving at retailers beginning Wednesday, October 19th.
QUAKE 4 begins only moments after the events of QUAKE II and enlists you in the role of Matthew Kane, a member of the Earth Defense Force's legendary Rhino Squad, to penetrate deep into the heart of the Strogg war machine and engage in a series of missions to destroy the barbaric alien race.
QUAKE 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer competition modeled after the speed, feel, and style of QUAKE III Arena. It's extremely addictive and has certainly rekindled some old rivalries here at the office. :)
id and Raven Software worked very closely during the development of QUAKE 4, and we'd like to thank all our friends at Raven for their hard work and dedication. Congrats to everyone on their team.

A retail PC CD/DVD megjelenés 2005. október 19-én lesz. Állítólag lesz extra Quake II-vel és a kiegészítőivel szállított DVD verzió is. Mint azt korábban jeleztem, a Quake 4 hivatalosan is futni fog Linuxon. A Linuxos kliens néhány héttel a bolti megjelenés után lesz elérhető.
