Quake Champions Season 2 update and March 2019 update patch notes
The Quake Champions team have been hard at working making sure the game is ready for the upcoming 2019-2020 esports Season 2. Alongside the developer's preparations is the massive March 2019 update to the game, with patch notes in excess of 4,000 words.
According to the patch notes featured on the official Quake Champions website, the latest March 2019 update includes fixes to server networking, client rendering, general performance, stability, and much more. The patch notes also includes a frankly exhaustive list of bug fixes touching on everything from crashes to removing several hundred megabytes of "unused UI assets," which should help squeeze a few extra frames-per-second out of less-powerful PC hardware.
Of course, most fans will likely be more interested in the update's new Vanity items. These include the Flintlock starting shotgun, Tesla Lightning Gun, Athena's Queen of the Sky, Clutch's Turbocharger, Keel's Laser Triangulater, and the Death Knight's Eye of Y'rmemae, among others. For more details about these, be sure to check out the official Quake Champions March 2019 update patch notes.
Speaking in a press release, the Quake Champions crew teased the start of the upcoming 2019-2020 season through the Duel tournament planned for QuakeCon 2019:
"We’ve witnessed some of the most exhilarating moments in esports across our Quake Champions tournaments, and we’re just getting started. Our world-class competitors will once again get the chance to prove their skill in the new yearlong 2019-2020 season, which kicks off with a Duel tournament at QuakeCon 2019 and leads up to a World Championship at QuakeCon 2020—the 25th year of QuakeCon!"
Beyond all of this, the Quake Champions March 2019 update patch notes also indicate that id Software has re-enabled Twitch drops, giving players the chance to earn some easy Shards and Reliquaries. Be on the lookout for the start of the Quake Champions esports Season 2 later this year, and stay tuned to Shacknews for future updates.
