Rumors Point to Quake 3 Arena Remaster Ahead of QuakeCon 2025

A potential Quake 3 Arena remaster may be in the works, with fans speculating that id Software and Nightdive Studios could officially unveil it during QuakeCon 2025.

The buzz began after a viewer named kjurban spotted a curious pinned comment during a recent Nightdive Studios livestream. The comment read:

"All eyes, I mean Orbbs, will be on that announcement lolol"

The playful reference to Orbb — a memorable playable character and AI opponent from Quake 3 Arena — has sparked speculation among longtime fans of the franchise. While there’s been no official confirmation, the hint has certainly fueled hopes that a remastered version of the iconic arena shooter may be on the horizon.

With QuakeCon approaching, all eyes — or perhaps Orbbs — are eagerly watching.
