Quake Champions' summer update adds a new map and the Citizen Kane of weapon skins

Quake Champions is still kicking on, long after the predicted arena shooter revival failed to eventuate. Its latest update looks like a meaty one: it introduces a new map, a handful of new weapon skins, and a swathe of tweaks and fixes.

The new map is called the Tower of Koth. It’s a “Ithagnal-themed” map that’s playable in a bunch of modes including Team Deathmatch and Instagib. “Rising from its viridian morass,” the description reads, “a row of skyward teeth speak to the chosen a singular truth: come to know this key and you will open any lock.”
