Fans believe they’ve identified a potential reference to a new Quake game during Microsoft’s recent Developer Direct presentation.
As observed by ResetEra’s JigglesBunny, in a segment focused on puzzles within the newly-revealed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game, viewers speculate that they can discern the Quake symbol and the text “AKE 6” on a whiteboard in the foreground.
While this isn’t definitive evidence, considering the absence of Quake 5 and the possibility that the letters may be coincidental, the presence of the logo seems unlikely to be accidental. Even if the game is on the board for inspiration in puzzle design, the inclusion of the “6” alongside the letters and logo raises questions.
It doesn’t confirm that MachineGames is actively working on a Quake sequel, but the reference’s deliberate nature is a point of interest. Stay tuned for updates, as we’ll keep you informed.
