"After months of testing, tweaking and balancing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, I'm pleased to finally be able to say 'It's Done!'" cried id CEO Todd Hollenshead. "We've had a ton of fun getting the game ready for the masses and IÂ’m looking forward to seeing the massive battle for the top of the online leaderboards begin!"

"The passion and effort put in by our team at Splash Damage, combined with the amazing direction and mentoring weÂ’ve received from id Software has lead to an award-winning game that weÂ’re incredibly proud of," said Splash Damage owner and creative director Paul Wedgwood.

Scheduled to arrive in Europe September 28 and North America October 2, Quake Wars will be available in both $49.99 regular and $59.99 limited edition flavors, the latter coming packed in a premium slipcase with a bonus DVD and ten collectible cards. No release date was provided for the Nerve Software-developed Xbox 360 edition or the PlayStation 3 version being handled by Activision Foster City.
