Quake Arena 2 Dependent on Success of Quake Live

July 31, 2008 5:22 PM

A new full-featured Quake Arena title will probably not be developed if Quake Live is not successful, according to comments made by id Software's John Carmack today.

"The door is not completely shut for another Quake project, and I'd say probably the success of Quake Live is going to determine whether or not we do another Quake Arena project," said Carmack.

"But right now the publishers aren't all that interested in a multiplayer project on there."

  But Quake 5 is not meant with quake arena 2, isnt it? I hope there will be a q5 also without success for quake live, because a q5 single- + multiplayer with tech 5 engine would be very nice...
