Quake 4: The Awakening

Quake 4: The Awakening is an official, previously unreleased expansion pack for Quake 4 developed by Ritual Entertainment and scheduled to be published by Activision. Set directly after the events of the main game, it was intended to expand the Rhino Squad's campaign against the Strogg before being abruptly canceled two decades ago. The project was left nearly complete but hidden from the public. Rediscovered On August 9, 2026, the expansion was officially rediscovered by veteran developer Justin Marshall. After purchasing an old, used hard drive, Marshall found the intact alpha source code and assets. He subsequently leaked and archived the project publicly on GitHub, granting the gaming community access to three fully playable levels, unreleased weapons, and original assets for the first time.
