A new leak associated with Valve's Steam platform on PC may have just teased that a classic shooter from id Software is about to get remastered. In the coming days, Bethesda is gearing up to hold its annual QuakeCon event. Taking place from August 18th until the 20th, Bethesda will be coming together with fans online to celebrate all things related to id Software and the publisher at large. And while we don't yet know what announcements might be made during the event, it seems like one reveal has now potentially been let loose a bit early.

As seen on SteamDB, which is a site that tracks behind-the-scenes activity on Steam, a number of new updates have recently been made to Quake 2. First released back in 1997, Quake 2 is one of the most popular games to have come from id Software during the studio's heyday. Although the nature of these updates tied to Quake 2 on Steam isn't really known, the game has received six new tweaks within the past week alone.

The reason why it's believed that these updates to Quake 2 on Steam could be tied to a remaster of the game is because of what we've seen Bethesda do in the past. Last year, id Software happened to release a full-blown remaster of the original Quake to coincide with QuakeCon. In the same vein, this new version of Quake happened to receive updates on Steam prior to then launching during QuakeCon. As such, fans believe that Bethesda could be doing the same thing once again with Quake 2.
