After suffering numerous delays, Quake Arena Arcade is finally coming to Xbox Live this fall.

Todd Daniel, CEO of developer Pi Studios, confirmed to IGN the game would be released towards the end of November or early December of this year.

Daniel said the delay occurred primarily due to the acquisition of id Software by Zenimax Media last June. The downloadable game includes 45 total maps, 15 of which are brand-new ones built specifically for the XBLA release. The remaining 30 have been taken from Quake III: Arena.

No pricing details have been set. Daniel said id Software is on a wait-and see-approach regarding the release of additional classic id games through Xbox Live.

With the renewal of multiple Mega-Threads, maybe we should turn this into an all-out weekly Xbox Live Marketplace thread?

XBLA, any new XBLIG games, demos etc.

Thoughts?

I think a lot more people would enter the thread if it was a weekly thing. I'm all for it.

The idea has been tossed around and even tried before, nobody seems to be willing to invest the time to do it monthly, let alone weekly.

Weekly threads are preferred over abyssal megathreads.

If no one's willing then no one's willing, but this thread in its current form shouldn't last.

Eh, then I suppose yearly, or what ever the duration is, will suffice.

MS forced them to charge for the DLC.

Did Microsoft also force them to include the content in the game, but lock it out to release as unlock codes later? I don't think they're being truthful.

Oh, just throwing it out there, making a new thread for XBLA, XBLIG and Game Room for 2010.
