Overview
- A brand-new Quake-related trademark was filed by ZeniMax on March 3, 2026, and the application is awaiting approval.
- Coverage notes this is a new application rather than a renewal, though the filing itself provides no product details.
- The discovery was flagged by Timur222 on X and circulated by GameReactor, with reports from Wccftech and Comicbook.com.
- Neither ZeniMax, Bethesda, id Software, nor Microsoft has announced a new Quake game or confirmed development plans.
- Analysts caution that trademark filings can be routine and that a concurrent leadership change at Microsoft could influence any potential project.
