Zigurrat and Poppy Works have released (https://youtu.be/rrXuou49PC8?feature=shared) a free add-on for Quake based on the upcoming game Slave Zero X. More than just a beefy slice of marketing, Slave Zero X Episode Enyo is a mod that serves as a prequel to the main game?s narrative.
The mod boasts six levels, eight weapons, and an original soundtrack. You play as one of the main antagonists from Slave Zero X, the eponymous Enyo. She?s out to assassinate Sovereign Khan, or ?SovKhan,? as his friends call him.

The press release pushes the fact that the add-on can run on Nightdive?s remastered version of Quake (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-quake-2021-remaster/). It?s available directly through the add-ons menu, so you can download and play it on consoles as well as PC. However, they?ve also released it standalone (http://poppy.works/?games=slave-zero-x-episode-enyo) to be run on the various Quake source ports.
I have to say, it?s a pretty big flex to promote your game with a Quake mod. I?ve played a bit of it myself, and it?s not a quick hack job. Its levels are pretty elaborate, and while you can recognize some assets from the base game, it?s mostly all new. More importantly, however, it shows an understanding of Slave Zero X?s audience. I was initially keeping the game in my peripherals, not really paying it much mind, but now it?s firmly in my sights. I?m curious how it will tie into this Quake mod.
The title itself is a prequel to 1999?s Slave Zero for Dreamcast and PC (https://www.mobygames.com/game/4355/slave-zero/), and while I don?t think you need any familiarity to get into Poppy Works? new title, an affection for it certainly helps.
Slave Zero X releases on February 21, 2024 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and Switch. Episode Enyo is available now for Quake.
