Three new maps, the new Tri-Bolt weapon, and a plethora of other features have all been added to Quake Champions with the E3 2017 update.

As if the running and gunning of Quake Champions isn’t awesome enough, they’ve gone and brought a familiar face to the fold. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz will become a playable character, and he will have his own voice lines, weapons, and more. He even has the perk of being able to dual-wield any weapon because what Nazi-killing badass wouldn’t? Players can sign up for the closed-yet-open beta on the game’s website. Stay tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as more details on the Quake World Championship are expected to be released soon.
