What defines Quake?
Quake is a first-person shooter franchise developed by id Software, launching in 1996. The original game combined fast-paced arena combat with a dark, gothic-industrial aesthetic influenced by Lovecraftian horror. Quake pioneered true 3D environments in the shooter genre, introduced multiplayer modes that became foundational to competitive gaming, and spawned multiple sequels including Quake II, Quake III Arena, and Quake Champions. The franchise is credited with establishing many conventions of the arena shooter genre, from rocket-jumping techniques to the deathmatch format that defined online gaming for a generation.
