The Bethesda blog talks to Tim Willits about Quake Champions and how professional Quake players are helping the development.

Were you surprised by any of their reactions to the game?

I was very encouraged by their reactions. Obviously, we are still in development, and we received a lot of great feedback from the pro players. But the feedback was positive. They liked the Champions. They understood that it was an additive feature and that it enhanced the strategy of the game, especially in team games. We actually had a few of the pro players ask for the abilities to do more. That surprised me. One of the guys said one of the Champions actually moved too fast. That was also surprising. But in general, they had a positive reaction to the game. They understood the direction and where we want to take the game.
