Final Episode of Mumola’s Quake Series Released
Chris Mumola has published the final entry in his multi-part Quake retrospective, titled Dimension of the Future. The article reflects on Quake’s current state and lays out thoughts on what a modern installment could offer.
The piece touches on the quiet end of Quake Champions, the role of MachineGames and Nightdive in preserving the franchise and the value of single-player content for attracting new players. Mumola also suggests features like customizable servers, community mapping tools, and a cosmetic-driven multiplayer model as a path forward.
The article follows previous episodes covering the series’ history, from the original Quake to recent remasters and fan expansions like Dimension of the Machine. Mumola ends with a note of cautious optimism — Nightdive has teased its “next big thing” for QuakeCon in August.
