Zigurrat and Poppy Works have launched a free add-on for Quake primarily based on the upcoming recreation Slave Zero X. Greater than only a beefy slice of promoting, Slave Zero X Episode Enyo is a mod that serves as a prequel to the primary recreation’s narrative.

The mod boasts six ranges, eight weapons, and an unique soundtrack. You play as one of many fundamental antagonists from Slave Zero X, the eponymous Enyo. She’s out to assassinate Sovereign Khan, or “SovKhan,” as his associates name him.

The press launch pushes the truth that the add-on can run on Nightdive’s remastered model of Quake. It’s obtainable immediately via the add-ons menu, so you’ll be able to obtain and play it on consoles in addition to PC. Nevertheless, they’ve additionally launched it standalone to be run on the assorted Quake supply ports.

I’ve to say, it’s a reasonably large flex to advertise your recreation with a Quake mod. I’ve performed a little bit of it myself, and it’s not a fast hack job. Its ranges are fairly elaborate, and when you can acknowledge some belongings from the bottom recreation, it’s principally all new. Extra importantly, nevertheless, it reveals an understanding of Slave Zero X’s viewers. I used to be initially retaining the sport in my peripherals, not likely paying it a lot thoughts, however now it’s firmly in my sights. I’m curious the way it will tie into this Quake mod.

The title itself is a prequel to 1999’s Slave Zero for Dreamcast and PC, and whereas I don’t assume you want any familiarity to get into Poppy Works’ new title, an affection for it actually helps.

Slave Zero X releases on February 21, 2024 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Sequence X|S, PS4, PS5, and Swap. Episode Enyo is offered now for Quake.
