A previously cancelled expansion for the classic first-person shooter Quake 4 has surfaced online. The files were discovered on an old hard drive by a former developer who worked on XCOM 2 and have since been released to the public via GitHub.

Quick Facts

  • Game: Quake 4
  • Status: Cancelled expansion content recovered
  • Availability: Now accessible via GitHub

The release provides a rare look at internal project files that were previously thought to be lost. The former developer shared the discovery, noting that finding the data on the aging hardware was a significant event for them personally.

Players interested in exploring the recovered content can access the files directly through the project's GitHub repository. Because these files originate from an unreleased, cancelled expansion, they may not represent a complete or polished gameplay experience, but they serve as a unique archival look at the development of the Quake series.
