Bethesda Showcases New Quake Champions and Prey Trailers at QuakeCon
Bethesda had some hot stuff cooking at this year’s QuakeCon in Dallas, Texas. The annual convention is organized by their parent company, ZeniMax Media, and primarily focuses on celebrating the Quake series (the upcoming Quake Champions received most of the attention this year), but they were also kind enough to showcase a new trailer for Prey and another look at Doom’s new DLC. Get the goods below.
Note that some new gameplay footage from Dishonored 2 was also featured at the event, but I can’t include it because it doesn’t seem to have made its way online.
QuakeCon 2016 Welcome:
Bethesda’s Pete Hines joins id Software’s Tim Willits and special guests to kick off 2016. Welcome address includes Prey’s gameplay trailer debut and a look at DOOM’s newest DLC, Unto the Evil.

Quake Champions – Debut Gameplay Trailer:
id Software Studio Director Tim Willits took to the stage at QuakeCon 2016 to debut the first Quake Champions gameplay trailer. Packed with blazing-fast action and explosive rocket jumps you know and love, get first look at the game’s Champions – including new characters and franchise favorites.
In true Quake fashion, you’ll have an arsenal of powerful and unique weapons, each of which will feel familiar to long-time Quake players. There are no loadouts and no limit to the amount of guns you can carry. Quake Champions will be going into closed beta in 2017, so it won’t be too much longer before you’ll be able to get your hands on the heart-thumping arena-style FPS and see for yourself just how fast it is, running at 120hz with unlocked framerates.

Prey is a first-person sci-fi action game from Arkane Studios, the award-winning creators of the 2012 Game of the Year, Dishonored. Known for their creative gameplay, distinctive worlds, and immersive stories, Arkane reimagines this franchise from the ground up, with an added psychological twist. In Prey you are the first human enhanced with alien powers aboard a desolate space station under assault. Improvise and innovate in order to survive as you search for answers. Prey is a bold new story set in a dangerous universe.
Prey will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2017.
