Under QuakeCon, som blev afholdt for nogle dage siden, afsløredes det at Quake IV ikke kommer til at blive et Deathmatch spil i stil med Quake III. Dette var mange fans meget skuffede over, men spillet skal istedet være et singleplayer spil med en handling, som giver spillet en sammenhæng med det klassiske Quake II.
Rick Johnson fra Raven Software, sagde således på QuakeCon:
"Quake IV is primarily a single-player focused game which will be continued on a near storyline from Quake II. That's not to say that we won't have multiplayer, but our primary focus is currently the single player experience."
HMMMMMMM!
